It looks like Rudy Giuliani's efforts to pander to Evangelical voters may have hit a snag:

A Southern Baptist leader said Tuesday that evangelical voters might tolerate a divorced presidential candidate, but they have deep doubts about GOP hopeful Rudy Giuliani, who has been married three times.

Richard Land, head of public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention, told The Associated Press that evangelicals believe the former New York City mayor showed a lack of character during his divorce from his second wife, television personality Donna Hanover.

"I mean, this is divorce on steroids," Land said. "To publicly humiliate your wife in that way, and your children. That's rough. I think that's going to be an awfully hard sell, even if he weren't pro-choice and pro-gun control."


It seems that some conservative Christians aren't willing to overlook the fact that Rudy's second wife had to get a court order to stop him from bringing his mistress over for quality time with the wife and kids. Go figure.

First it was James Dobson of Focus on the Family saying that he wouldn't support John McCain "under any circumstances," and now the Southern Baptist Convention is repudiating Giuliani. This sounds like good news for Romney and better news for Democrats.
