Linda Feldmann's piece at the Christian Science Monitor today highlights why a Giuliani nomination would not reflect core Republican values in the upcoming presidential contest.
A year before Election Day, Americans may be heading toward the most unorthodox US presidential race in a generation.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) of New York appears well positioned to become the first woman nominee of a major party. But it is Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, who would represent the greater departure for his party, if he were to win the Republican nomination.
Mr. Giuliani's liberal positions on social issues – foremost, abortion and gay rights – put him at odds with the large social conservative wing of the Republican Party. If Giuliani can make it through the primaries, he would be the first Republican nominee to hold such views since President Reagan made opposition to abortion a central feature of Republican doctrine.
