The Washington Post profiles Rudy Giuliani's prospects for the GOP nomination. If "America's Mayor" has to bolster his support from conservatives, on which social issues is it easiest for Giuliani to move to the right?

Not only would evangelicals support the move, but adopting Bush's position would also appease conservative Catholic leaders.
