If the US Presidential Election Republican Primary were held today...

Would Republicans really vote for Giuliani? Or as a better question, would the Evangelicals really vote for him?

I think a Giuliani run would be greeted with the same blackball effort that McCain received in 2000. He's far too socially liberal for the GOP base, and whoever they annoint as Bush's successor will benefit from the same widespread effort that McCain and Liddy Dole faced in 2000.

I've been very disappointed in what I've seen of McCain in the last year or so. Seems he's now only too happy to appease those who he made his reputation/persona bucking. He's clearly running to be nominated and not currently running to be President.

He (Guiliani) is far too socially liberal for the GOP base,

Don't be so sure about that. He has already said he would appoint Supreme Court Justices in the mold of Scalia and Roberts.
