This has got to be a major blow to Romney and Huckabee, who are both courting these endorsements, as if the endorsement of Robertson and Weyrich is going to bring with it any votes to speak of.
The prolife vote is going to be split, making the other legs of the social conservative stool-immigration and guns- even more important. Fred realizes this and while touting his prolife credentials and his reliability on federalist judges who really will reverse Roe v. Wade, he is assuming the mantle of the only major “secure borders” candidate (as opposed to the others, especially Rudy, McCain and Huckabee), having already secured his position as the candidate of gun owners.
Fred will get a very solid share of the prolife vote, because he is the most likely to appoint the judges who can actually mover the ball forward. But he is going to get the lion’s share of the Immigration and 2nd Amendment vote. That will be the difference.
Did Weyrich endorse anyone? I'd be surprised if he sells out.
