Reply #21: Why shouldn't people vote for the candidate who best reflects their views? If I was a one issue

[Stop Cornyn]

anti-choice voter, I wouldn't vote for Giuliani. Why should they? Those folks aren't really Republicans; they are one issue abortion fanatics. They might have voted Republican in every presidential election of their adult life, but that's only because the Republican presidential candidate has been more anti-choice than the Democratic candidate for decades. If the Republicans nominate Giuliani, where are those one-issue voters to go? I don't respect their views, and I generally don't respect one-issue voters, but at least I respect their unwillingness to compromise their single principle and their unwillingness to be taken for granted by the Republicans.

I have met plenty of Republicans who might skip the vote if it's Romney or Giuliani vs. Obama or Edwards even though they'd definitely vote fpr Romney or Giuliani if we nominate Hillary because their distaste for Hillary is so strong, but I haven't met any Democrats who won't vote for Hillary (although they may do so unenthusiastically and won't give time or money to the campaign).
