Sam Brownback Would Support Rudy Giuliani But Thinks The Nominee Will be Himself
Hotline - National Review ^ | 12/13/06

Posted on 12/13/2006 7:04:20 AM PST by areafiftyone

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) also stopped by the "Situation Room."

Brownback, on Bush waiting to make an announcement in 1/07: "This is a big course correction, if you want to call it that, a course adjustment that he's making, and I think he needs to take every bit of time that he needs to have."

Asked if he would support ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the '08 GOP nominee: "Oh, I think so. I believe in a big tent party. I believe in a party that binds people together even though we don't agree on all of the topics, and so I think I could do that. But I think I'm going to be the nominee and not Rudy Giuliani" (CNN, 12/12). [KATHERINE LEHR]

Brownback should be nice to Rudy or Rudy won't pick him for VP.

ROFLMAO! I wouldn't expect Brownback to say anything else. They all think they are going to be the nominee. I'm actually looking forward to the election. Should be a real lulu! LOL

I've been trying to decide if they should be called "small tenters" or "my tenters" or "hundred percenters." Maybe just "stuck-up sticky-beaks" would work.

What a joke. Brownback has got about a snow ball's chance in hell of winning the nomination. What do they put in the Senate's water cooler?

You mean one of the staunchest social conservatives in the Senate would support Rudy if he were nominated. I think some on FR need to take heed of this.
