Giuliani, who will address the summit Oct. 20, has the biggest hurdles. His support for abortion rights, gay rights and gun control -- and his three marriages -- run counter to the core positions held by evangelical voters.
Land said these concerns haven't been allayed by Giuliani's promise in March to appoint ``strict constructionist'' judges
to the federal bench, which abortion foes interpret as a code for support for the eventual outlawing of the procedure.``He also promised two previous wives that he would love, honor and cherish them until death do us part,'' Land said.
A lesser known Fundie also has a quip for Rudy:
Michael Farris, the chancellor of Patrick Henry College, an evangelical school in Purcellville, Virginia, said he would consider supporting Giuliani only if ``he named my mother as vice president.''
Grover can't believe the Fundies won't back Rudy:
``The entire conservative movement is going to be united because Hillary is going to be on the ballot and the Supreme Court is going to be at stake,'' said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, a Washington-based anti-tax advocacy group.
Land thinks otherwise:
``I know a lot more evangelicals than Grover does,'' he said. ``If Giuliani is the nominee, Grover will be shocked.''
