We've been fairly busy the last few days. What better way to resume our regular activities than by reporting the latest Rasmussen national poll indicating that Gov. Huckabee is now sharing the lead with Rudy Giuliani nationally in the race for the Republican nomination. Full poll here. Breakdown below.
Given the trend of the last three days, we fully expect to see that Gov. Huckabee will have the sole lead tomorrow.
The Hill is reporting that Senator Sam Brownback is considering whether he will endorse Rudy Giuliani. Says Brownback:
I’m going to meet with him and I’m going to talk to him and hear what he is specifically saying now because he’s changed on a number of the abortion issues[.]
He’s changed on partial-birth [abortion] and he … has said he would appoint strict constructionists.
I have been analyzing Giuliani's promise to appoint strict constructionist jurists, and I have determined that such a promise is meaningless. It is sheer trickery. Giuliani is trying to move the goal posts by using the words "strict constructionists" in a way that is vastly different from the way social conservatives have come to understand that term. Giuliani is muddying the waters on this very important issue, and I suppose I will have to make the case since the pro-life vanguard has dropped the ball.
Look for a post in which I will show why Giuliani's promise of strict constructionist jurists is meaningless.
