mccain fixation holds media
Marshall Wittmann, a former McCain aide and one-time legislative director for the Christian Coalition, said Giuliani's record on social issues would be a "show stopper" for most conservative voters.
However, he added, many Republicans would find a McCain-Giuliani ticket irresistible.
"Rudy's national security credentials could bring him to the No. 2 spot on ticket, but not No. 1," Wittmann said. "Pro-life voters care about national security, but they are Republicans because it's the pro-life party and they'd leave the party if it nominated a pro-choice candidate. The mayor's an intelligent guy, and I'm certain he knows that."
``I must give him his due. He has considerably cretinized me.'' Lautréamont
