From CNN today:
BLITZER: One final question, a political question, Senator McConnell . Rudy Giuliani, according to all the polls right now among registered Republicans, Independents leaning Republican, he’s at top, ahead of John McCain in this USA Today/Gallup poll, 40 percent to 24 percent. If Rudy Giuliani were the Republican presidential nominee, would you be able to support him, given his support, for example, for abortion rights, for gay rights, for gun control, some of the other social issues?
MCCONNELL : Look, I think any Republican who goes out and earns our nomination, through the process, which is like running a gauntlet, is somebody that I think Republicans will rally around.
Mayor Giuliani has a great record in the wake of the 9/11 disaster in New York. He’s a strong anti-terrorism leader, and is widely admired in our party, and we’ll see. You know, a lot of good people are running for president, and I’m going to support the winner.
BLITZER: I’ll take that as a yes.
MCCONNELL : OK.
