Lawrence Henry, in an article on the American Spectator’s Website:
I’m a social conservative. I used to think former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani could never be nominated as the Republican candidate for President, given his pro-choice and pro-gay sympathies. Recent circumstances convince me that not only can Giuliani get the nomination, he will. And that, if nominated, he will win election. The giant karmic wheel of political affairs has turned his direction.
A lot can happen between now and 2008, but I’m happy to see more and more people start to wake up, especially social conservatives. Republicans would be doing themselves a great disservice if they nominate a boring, generic, candidate in 2008, who simply toes the party line. Conservatives may not agree with everything Giuliani says, but at least he speaks with unwavering conviction and is a natural leader. Simply put, Giuliani is the man for our time.
Fantasyland. Primaries are very contentious, and there’s no way Giuliani is getting out of one.
