Based on public opinion polls of ten of the key political issues, it has been determined that Ron Paul is the ideal Republican candidate when voters concerns are weighted and Rudy Giuliani is the ideal Republican candidate on an issue by issue basis.
Although their disagreement on the war has been widely publicized; they also differ on issues of abortion and guns.
The #1 issue for voters in the upcoming 2008 election is the war in Iraq -- taxes follows closely -- and as a result, Ron Paul gets the nod when the voters concerning America is weighted. This is because he is the only Republican candidate that supports a troop withdrawal and he wants to abolish the IRS.
When the issues are all weighted evenly, Rudy Giuliani is the ideal candidate because of his moderate views on abortion and gun control.
