So-Cons for Rudy?

   Even as a Rudy backer, [1]news this good is hard to believe:

     Rudy Giuliani, whose positions on abortion and homosexuality mark
     him as the most socially liberal Republican presidential candidate
     in more than a generation, is so far winning the contest for the
     support of social conservatives, according to a new analysis of
     recent polls.
     ...
     Giuliani is winning 30 percent of the social conservative bloc,
     compared to 22 percent for McCain. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
     Romney captured just 8 percent â a figure that puts Romney in
     fourth place, behind former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is
     currently not a declared candidate.

   I'm the farthest thing from a social conservative myself, but it's
   interesting that the group everybody predicted would go against Rudy
   is lining up [2]about the same as the rest of the GOP primary crowd.
