Betting On Hillary: Update

Two posts on the PowerLine Blog amplify some of the points I made about Guiliani's problem with religious conservatives increasing the likelihood of a Hillary presidency.

First, Paul Mirengoff reported on a story by Robert Novak dealing with Guiliani's support among that group. Novak found that it was stable, so far. Mirengoff wonders, as I now do, what percentage of those voters will "sit out" the election rather than cast a vote for pro-choice Rudy.

Next, Scott Johnson posts about the possibility that some Republicans will reluctantly conclude (ala Charles Krauthammer) that they could live with Hillary as President. His view is that such a belief may be misguided and self-defeating.
