That kind of question would have tied Rudy and Romney and any of the others I can think of in knots. It ‘s a hard question. The urge to pander (or “reach out”) is great, because Dobson does, at least on the surface, represent a large constituency. For a frontrunner to answer honestly, in spite of the risks, shows intestinal fortitude and real leadership. Just like he showed with Rush yesterday when all the others were heading for the tall grass.
Give me an example of one of the others taking any risk of an equivalent nature to speak their mind. Oh, I forgot. They all have to consult with their focus groups in order to know what they think.
Fred can’t win and Dobson isn’t obligated to support him.
