ElectaPres.com : Gingrich: Immigration Hurts McCain More Than Abortion Hurts Giuliani Among GOP Voters

John McCain tells ABC News that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich "may be right" for thinking that the Arizona senator's immigration stance is a bigger threat to his bid for the GOP's 2008 presidential nomination than former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's support for abortion rights.
"Sen. McCain carries both the burden of McCain-Feingold and now the burden of the McCain-Kennedy bill," said Gingrich in a question and answer session following a Friday speech to the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. "And I think, in a sense . . . if you were handicapping, he has the greatest challenge in a Republican primary in explaining those positions."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos airing this Sunday on "This Week," McCain does not entirely refute Gingrich's assessment.
