An e-mail on right-wing reaction to Romney vs. Rudy:

I have been more than a little surprised at the vitriol aimed at Mitt Romney from conservatives. So let me get this right, Romney changes his views to the correct position on life issues, but is branded a flip-flopper, but Rudy Giuliani is going to be the GOP’s savior with the wrong position on a whole range of issues from gay “marriage” to abortion to gun control. Is there something that I am missing here? Who needs Democrats framing Romney a Kerryesque flip-flopper when you have conservatives who will do it for them. As for Giuliani, I am pro-life and conservative politically, but that is certainly not everyone. The GOP running a pro-abortion Giuliani will simply encourage pro-lifers who are not conservative politically to simply stay home, and give the election to the Democrats. To someone who has strong convictions on the sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb, being pro-choice and nominating Alito-like Supreme Court Justices simply doesn’t cut it.
