Reply #23: This is why the two party system is inherently flawed [View All]

Not that I'm neccessarily complaining.

McCain would win 48-50 states if the election were held today, with the possibility that the Democratic candidate could win his or her home state and a bordering state. Giuliani could probably win about 40-45 states, but he would lose most of New England, except New York. (Ironically, even though Giulliani would fare worse than McCain, he is probably the only candidate who has a competitive shot at winning New York if Hillary Clinton ran.)

However, neither of these candidates view fully jive with the Republican party. Whilst Republicans may like Giuliani and Rice (who is not running) better than McCain, this more than likely is because of the formers' hawkish positions in foreign policy. What may be likely to happen is that a pro-life hawk could end up winning the Republican primary, creating the conditions for a Democrat to win the White House.
