The other is a kind of libertarian pro-war nationalism with an added focus on procedural reform issues. We’ve seen how critics of each approach might characterize them. It’s probably safe to say that inasmuch as there is a presidental candidate to represent each tendency, it’s Huckabee for the former and Giuliani for the latter.

He's Pro-Choice and very tolerant on Gay issues. But most importantly he's stridently anti-Sharia law. We won't see any of the rampant political correctness in a Giuliani administration, like we're seeing now under Bush: publicly funded footbaths for Muslims at Detroit colleges, Muslim Cabbies in Airports refusing service to Gays and those carrying booze, Muslim clerics threatening those who report them with lawsuits, ect... Flash! "Libertarian Democrat" Tammy Bruce just endorsed Giuliani this morning on Fox News!!! In almost every sense Giuliani IS libertarian on social matters.
