A social conservative with sense

That would be conservative leader Gary Bauer.
If the Republican Party nominates Rudy Giuliani, he doesn't want to go the third-party route:
"Veteran conservative leader Gary Bauer of the Campaign for Working Families does not want to follow James Dobson's rejectionist course, which could pave Hillary Clinton's path to the Oval Office. "If [Giuliani] is nominated," Bauer told me, "the leaders of the values voters movement need to sit down and do everything possible to avoid a split that would guarantee a disaster for social, economic and foreign policy conservatism. It would require some serious discussions."

Good for him. I'm not particularly enthralled right now with Governor Romney, but if he became the GOP nominee, it would never enter my mind to start calling for the creation of a third party etc etc etc. I think many other Republicans and conservatives feel the same way.
