Not So Fast, James

James Dobson does not speak for the religious right, says another card-carrying member:
Former Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer contends that conservative Christians should seriously consider supporting Thompson if they want to avoid a "nightmare scenario" where they are forced to choose between two pro-abortion, pro-gay rights candidates – Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.
"He (Thompson)'s obviously against same-sex marriage. He doesn't support quite the same constitutional amendment that some of the others of us do, but he's been talking with us about it, and has been moving closer and closer on the amendment," said Bauer, who is president of American Values, according to OneNewsNow.
"So I hope that we can, as a movement, be very wise about this, and not savage candidates that we may very well have to support in 2008 if they're running against Hillary Clinton."
As I suspected, Fred Thompson has not suffered at all from Dobson's attack, and indeed the collective blogosphere opinion was to think even more highly of Thompson. And with this latest defense it appears that Thompson can get the support of both the religious right and the libertarian elements of the GOP. It's the best of both worlds!
Gary Bauer gave a good sharp head slap to the religious right, saying, in effect, "Do you want to see Hillary as president?! Pull yourself together!"
Mike Huckabee is the religious right dream candidate, he's been religiously (ha! religiously, get it?) going after the support of conservative Christians and is largely succeeding. But in the bigger electoral game, he's been coming up short. Of all the second tier candidates, I believe Mike has the best shot at breaking out, but with Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and now Thompson in the way, it seems like a long shot indeed.
In the end, Fred Thompson can and will easily get the support of the religious right, Dobson grumbling notwithstanding.
