Republicans are struggling to find a candidate who can represent every aspect of their diverse party. Beyond pleasing the tax-cutters and the anti-government libertarians, can any of the Republican candidates represent that all-important, vehement voting bloc - evangelicals and religious conservatives?
Can they trust former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, a Mormon who as few as four years ago favored pro-choice policies and vowed to outdo Ted Kennedy on gay rights issues? What about the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, who still espouses pro-choice and pro-gay rights beliefs? What about former actor and lobbyist Fred Thompson, who represents hated Hollywood and used to lobby for a pro-choice group?
If only there were a candidate who could represent the disenfranchised social conservatives! It could be a former Baptist minister, with a proven conservative track record as governor of a Southern state.
