Evangelical boost for Rudy?
Could be. Religious right darling and recently ex-’08 candidate Sam Brownback is set to meet with - gasp! - Rudy Giuliani in a probable precursor to an endorsement. This would be huge for Rudy, as it would temper some of the firestorm emanating from the right wing social conservatives about Giuliani’s stances on abortion, marriage, […]

Republican debate: Candidate rundown
Rudy Giuliani -Had a few good lines, didn’t get lost in the social quandary (though conservatives were left groaning a couple of times) and generally made Romney and Thompson try to catch him - which they didn’t. Not as comfortable as Hillary, but he is in a good position. Speaking of Hillary, he joined the […]
Florida Republican debate: Analysis
We clearly saw Rudy Giuliani solidifying his frontrunner status last night, along with a possible comeback from McCain. The rest of the race remains jumbled coming out of the Orlando debate. Why?

The “Values Voters Summit, Family Research Council’s three day uber-conference in D.C. , has already drawn out most of the major GOP candidates. McCain, Romney, and Fred Thompson all spoke to the evangelical masses at the event, talking up similar pro-life and ”pro-family” themes.

The Buzz
Romney gets a major social conservative boost - in South Carolina and elsewhere - as top SC evangelical Don Wilton decides to endorse Mitt despite noted concerns among fellow Palmetto State Republicans over the Mormon issue. Wilton is the biggest religious player in South Carolina and hold major sway over that state’s rank-and-file evangelicals. While […]
