Robertson for Rudy

The battle for the most conservative members of the GOP base gets serious this morning, with dueling endorsements for Republicans Rudy Giuliani and John McCain.

Giuliani will be endorsed this morning at the National Press Club by Pat Robertson, according to Giuliani campaign sources. The McCain campaign, meanwhile, seeking to steal some of Rudy's thunder, announced this morning that Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, who abandoned his presidential bid last month, will endorse McCain today in Iowa.

How will Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson respond? Could either endorsement alienate more moderate Republican voters ... say in New Hampshire?

Here's Robertson in 2005 in the LAT singing Rudy's praises and saying he would make a "good president."

This smells worse than Brownback's visit to Rudy last week. Hey Pat ,,,did you know that Rudy is : proabortion , progay , antigun , antifamily , and he is on the wrong side of the fence ? Did you know that Rudy has split the base ? Do you realize that a vote for Rudy is a vote for Hillary ?What is up with you ?You might might try " Evangelicals for Mitt " for help.Ann Romney will make a much better first lady too. I guess we will have to give this one to the far left loons ..... P S.....Pat the line is being drawn in the sand and there is not much time left for you to get your head right .
