...october the Republican Presidential candidates spoke before social conservatives, mostly Evangelicals, at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit. The event was awkward for several of the contenders. Mitt Romney's Mormonism does not go over well with all evangelical Christians. Rudy Giuliani is pro-choice. John McCain famously called some Christian conservatives "agents of intolerance" during his 2000 presidential campaign...
...isolating themselves. And while they have come a long way--which is why this time their favorite candidate has been a Governor and not only a preacher--they haven't come far enough to guarantee Huckabee the nomination.

Giuliani draws high levels of support among G.O.P. voters who are most concerned about national-security issues, and that describes almost half of Republicans nationally. For those voters, the New Yorker's experience during 9/11 and his foreign policy rhetoric trump any concerns about his character and background...
