Although the American political system is a two party system on its face, this can be somewhat deceptive. The American political system is more like the multi-party European political system than most people think. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are coalitions of various interests that have different priorities. Like in the European system, it is only possible to maintain a coalition if the interests of all elements of the coalition are adequately advanced. If the interests of a component of the coalition are not advanced, the coalition will not last long because that interest group will have no reason to remain a part of the coalition. There is a major component of the Republican Party that does not care about giving rich people more tax cuts, like eliminating the Estate Tax. But they vote Republican because they care more about issues like abortion and the family. If the Republican Party does not put forward a candidate that represents these interests, the coalition will be divided and the Republican Party will meet its political death. If Giuliani is nominated, there will almost certainly be a pro-life third party candidate, and a major component of the Republican coalition, myself included, will vote for that third party candidate. I want to see Giuliani win the South when there is a credible third party candidate that represents the values of the South and Giuliani does not.

For those who are social conservatives, I want to encourage you not to buy the line of the neo-cons who will want you to sell out your values on the basis of security or economic issues. Every year in the United States 1.3 million innocent children are massacred with state sanction. This is the same amount of people that would die if Islamic terrorists were to detonate a nuclear weapon in a major U.S. city every year. The U.S. is already under attack by nuclear terrorists, but it is Planned Parenthood and not Islamic extremists, which poses the greatest threat to the future of the United States.
