This is a very, very strange article.

I think the gist of the situation is buried somewhere in the middle: “Brownback has not indicated that he is likely to support Giuliani, but he has not ruled it out. He said he is also considering endorsing other top-tier Republican candidates.”

In other words, Brownback hasn’t really said anything. But this writer has phoned up a slew of people and asked them what they think would think if Brownback endorsed Rudy.

He also evidently called Brownback, and Brownback was basically noncommital. Then he did his spin job.

Brownback - sellout ?

[pissant]

Yes, but the fact that he is meeting with Rudy at all is pretty stupid, IMO

[Perdogg]

During one of the debates, Brownback said he would support the republican nominee, whoever it is, in a generic fashion.

I read this as Brownback angling for a VP spot. It wouldn't be beneath him to pander for the job (or worse).

I can't tell you how unexcited I would be with a Giuliani-Brownback ticket.

At that point, even McCain starts to look good...
