A new drinking game: drink every time a liberal pundit reminds conservatives that Rudy has been married multiple times and is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, etc... Because, you know, he's looking out for us. Or just perhaps it's because they don't want a strong candidate like Rudy matched up against their Hillary or O'Bama. I report, you decide.
On the other side of the aisle, some religious conservatives are beating the drums for the current field, as Cal Thomas did recently concerning McCain, Giuliani and Romney:
That substantial numbers of conservative evangelical voters are even considering these candidates as presidential prospects is a sign of their political maturation and of their more pragmatic view of what can be expected from politics and politicians. It is also evidence that many of them are awakening to at least two other realities -- (1) they are not electing a church deacon; and (2) government has limited power to rebuild a crumbling social construct.Voting-wise, I exercise either political maturity or I stand for principle; I never act cravenly or like a utopian. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :-)
But seriously, I guess McCain will do this time since he has a conservative record, passes the Ronald Reagan test (i.e. only one divorce) and also has been pro-life longer than Romney (i.e. longer than three weeks). This time the decision will be made before I get to vote in the primary due to the front-loading of big states, so I can relax knowing that my vote will morph from an infintessimally small statement to a null statement. But on the bright side I predict drinking games will abound!
