Reports proliferate: Pat Robertson will endorse Rudy. Which should help him some on the evangelical right.
UPDATE: Why the endorsement? Here's one thought:
"Both Giuliani and Robertson share an apocalyptic worldview about the clash with [radical] Islam; for Robertson, it is religious and based in biblical prophecy. For Giuliani, it is secular -- but given his 9/11 experiences, just as personal. Evangelical Christians... see the war on terror like he does: black-and-white, good-versus-evil, a struggle for the soul of civilization."

Stop the Press!
Robertson has not been a major evangelical force for years.
This gives him a headline and will further erode his influence.
Can you think of any political news story in recent memory that quotes Robertson because he is influential?
Dobson, Hagee, etc. have replaced him and they CLEARLY are the key players....and they have said NO to Rudy already.
The Liberal Out of Touch, New York Papers will play this story, but in GOP National level it CLEARLY is a joke.
