They're still towing that line about not supporting abortion-lovin' Rudy:
[url]Christian Right Threatens to Ditch the GOP If the Nominee Is Like Giuliani[/url]

James Dobson and Religious Right allies threaten to dump the Republican Party if the presidential nominee fails "family values" test.
Focus on the Family Chairman James C. Dobson emerged from a top-secret, closed-door meeting of the Religious Right in Salt Lake City with some tough talk for the Republican Party: If you nominate a candidate who is pro-choice on abortion, I will walk.
Dobson does not plan to be alone. The New York Times reported Oct. 1 that the FOF head was among a collection of Religious Right leaders who met during a gathering of the Council for National Policy (CNP) Sept. 29. Movement leaders pledged to back a third party if the GOP nominates Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City.
The CNP, an umbrella organization of far-right groups, is normally very secretive about its activities, and talking to the press is strictly verboten. But this time it seemed at least some of the coalition's members were deliberately seeking media attention.
The Times reported that the talk about a third party "emerged from a group that broke away for separate discussions" during the CNP gathering.

But I can imagine that if the dems can hold their noses in support of a possible Clinton presidency, then the repubs would do the same for a possible Giuliani nod.
