Time Magazine reports that conservatives are dismayed with the likely choices for Republican nominee for President in 2008. From their point of view, here are the front runners and their liabilities:
Rudy Giuiliani: twice divorced due to public adultery; pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun
John McCain: once divorced, has had "wrong" stance on taxes, immigration, gay marriage amendment
Mitt Romney: was pro-choice, pro-gay rights when running in Massachusetts
Sam Brownback: ideologically fine, but has electability issues
George Allen: couldn't even win his own state in 2006
As a result, a lot of conservatives are looking for a dark horse like Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, or maybe even Newt Gingrich. Dick Morris looked at Giuliani, McCain, Gingrich, and Romney and quipped: "The only one of these guys who hasn't had multiple wives is the Mormon."
Of course, the Democratic candidates also have a lot of baggage, starting with Hillary Clinton, who half the country already hates, but the Time story didn't go into the Democratic candidates.
