The Conservatives' Secular Problem: Rudy's Got It

Theoretically, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the sort of candidate that can help conservatives address their secular problem. With his record supporting reproductive freedom and equality for gays, he'd be hard to peg as trying to impose his religious beliefs on others.

But last week, as Pam's House Blend flagged, Giuliani has flip-flopped on civil unions, opposing New Hampshire's new law.

That's out of step with the public, 60% support equal partnership rights.

Perhaps he can get the nod from conservatives with such transparent pandering, but it won't help solve their fundamental secular problem.
