Another side of Bob and more!

More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Rudy and Robertson ...12:42 pm

The big political news today is Pat Robertson’s endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for president.

Hmm. News? Robertson’s endorsement of Guiliani was reported in this spot almost exactly two and a half years ago. Admittedly, Robertson has had ample time to backtrack on that, and it can be called news that he has now formally endorsed Rudy.

It is interesting, not least because Rudy has not pursued the tack that I thought he might back then — in order to woo social conservatives — of explicitly criticizing the reasoning of Roe v. Wade, although he has said that he would nominate judges like Antonin Scalia to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Some pundits are questioning how much influence Pat Robertson has with today’s evangelicals. I think a better question is how much influence any particular preacher has with evangelicals; as much as the media types like to portray them as sheep, I think they will actually make up their own minds.

The larger news is that Rudy Giuliani’s tactic of telling voters, “I may disagree with you on some things, but at least I’m being honest with you,” is continuing to work, even as we’re beginning to get close to the real meat of the primary season. Still, I think that it all remains very much up for grabs.
