In light of recent reports of a Christian conservative third
party challenge in the event of a Giuliani nomination, Jim Geraghty speculates on whether a Republican
can win a general election without energizing the pro-life
grassroots. The way I see it, however, such a question will be
rendered moot by the outcome of the GOP nomination battle. If Rudy
wins, then it will demonstrate he is better at mobilizing support
and getting people to the polls than his rivals. If he loses, then
it will show the opposite to be true.
