"Values Voters" straw poll. - Updated
Non-scientific, but I think we can safely say Giuliani didn't close the deal.
Candidate Name ... Percentage
1. Mitt Romney ... 27.62 %
2. Mike Huckabee ... 27.10 %
3. Ron Paul ... 14.98%
4. Fred Thompson ... 9.77 %
5. Sam Brownback ... 5.14 %
6. Duncan Hunter ... 2.42 %
7. Tom Tancredo ... 2.30 %
8. Rudy Giuliani ... 1.85 %
9. John McCain ... 1.40 %
From Politico: "Announcing the results, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the top four issues picked by voters were 1) abortion; 2) marriage; 3) tax cuts; and 4) permanent tax relief for families." (Not terrorism/national security.)
(And don't take too much from the Ron Paul number. For a one dollar contribution to FRC you could vote online.)
Later: Check this out. Most of Romney's strength in this poll came from online votes. Huckabee beat Romney 5 to 1 among actual attendees.
The Romney folks claim they encouraged their people to vote online. What they really did was blast their email list asking for online votes.
Here's a breakdown.

So abortion, gays and greed... And let's be clear; the abortion issues is as much about controlling sex (the same crowd denounces contraception with near-equal venom) as it is actual abortions. So really, the values of these people really boils down to material selfishness and sexual obsessions.
What a sad, sad lot these people are. They can keep their "values."

Right. That's why Romney hit hard with his marriage before babies point.
And, I often get tired of putting quotes around "values" "christian" and "conservative."
If you don't see them, assume they're implied.

Now the numbers make more sense. The FRC has always been about theocracy and sexual repression, hence Pastor Huck is the obvious choice (it seems to me anyway).
But you see, here again is the Romney machine I've been talking about... stuffing ballot boxes and manipulating victory.

It's really the only chance Romney's got. Right now his campaign strategy is based on setting up a two way race between himself and Giuliani, and hic claims of evangelical support are critical to maintaining that narrative.
If that narrative gets popped, then it opens the door for someone else to be the "not giuliani."
