Dobson Versus Rudy

It seems to me that with the publication of this James Dobson op-ed, Rudy Giuliani just got a lot less electable:

After two hours of deliberation, we voted on a resolution that can be summarized as follows: If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor-party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand. The result was almost unanimous.

It would be a big, big problem for Giuliani's general election campaign to have any of the major cultural conservative institutions backing a third party candidate. It's generally very difficult to win when you have a spoiler trying to take you down the way Ross Perot was gunning for H.W. Bush in '92 or Ralph Nader was taking aim at Gore in 2000.
