The most important results from this weekend's Values Voter Summit straw poll may be those for "anyone but."

Organizers asked voters to name the candidate "least acceptable" to be president.

Among the social conservatives here, Hillary Rodham Clinton was the most detested, receiving 77 percent of the vote for least acceptable.

Among the Republicans, Rudy Giuliani took top honors -- unsurprising given his position on abortion, which was listed as the top issue for nearly 60 percent of the voters here. His 34 anti-votes were more than those for John Edwards or even Dennis Kucinich, both liberal Democratic presidential candidates.

These numbers matter because the attendees at this event are the troops Republicans will count on to go door-to-door a year from now to ensure their neighbors are enthusiastic enough about the GOP nominee to turn out. It's what carried President Bush to re-election in 2004 and what many conservatives say was lacking last year when Republicans were spanked by Democrats.

Second among Republicans was Mitt Romney, with only half as many anti-votes as Giuliani. Given questions about his Mormonism among some evangelical conservatives, that should go down as an impressive showing for the former Massachusetts governor.

On the other end of the spectrum, Fred Thompson collected just five anti-votes, and Sen. John McCain collected only two. That could mean they are consensus picks, but it also could mean their campaigns are so inconsequential to the voters here that they didn't merit the animosity.
