How the Giullani/Robertson evil alliance happened... via IM


Pat Robertson, one of America's most influential conservative religious figures, announced Wednesday morning he's supporting Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid. With his endorsement, the Christian Coalition founder and "700 Club" host gives Giuliani a major boost, disappoints former Massachusetts governor/Mormon GOP rival Mitt Romney, and thwarts evangelicals who would support a third-party candidate if Giuliani gets the nomination.
