Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy Giuliani publicly, which is very good news for his campaign. As I've mentioned here before, I believe the only thing that can guarantee a Democrat victory in '08 is the migration of religious folks away from the Republican Party. Despite what you may think about Robertson (he's not high on my list), he carries a tremendous amount of weight amongst evangelicals and fundamentalists. I hope it makes a difference.
Someone asked me the other day why I like Giuliani so much when there are true-blue conservatives vying for the Republican nomination. My answer is simple: Rudy is leadership material. If you remember when Ronald Reagan was in the White House, you know that even his Democrat opponents liked him for the most part. In fact, he and Tip O'Neal (then Speaker of the House) were actually friends. Rudy is that guy for the 21st century. Because of this, I believe he can get things done.
As strongly as I feel about abortion and gun control and other issues with which I disagree with Giuliani, they must all take a backseat to the prosecution of the war against Islamo-Fascists. I can't image Rudy backing down on issues of national defense. Can you picture him with his staff, busting chops and telling them how things need to be? I can, too. That's why he needs to be the next President.
