There are an awful lot of leaps in this piece in the Boston Globe today.
Moore, a Republican who enjoys widespread support in his home state, is poised to run against a vulnerable Republican governor. If he wins, some party strategists speculate, he could defy a federal court order again by erecting a religious monument outside the Alabama state Capitol building. With the 2008 presidential race looming, President Bush would then face a no-win decision: either call out the National Guard to enforce a court order against a religious display on state grounds or allow a fellow born-again Christian to defy the courts.
Just the first sentence is a little problematic. I don’t know how widespread the support for Roy for Governor is. He certainly had support for what he did as a judge, but I very much doubt he could get out of the primary in his own party. The writer then leaps to serveral more conclusions about what happens next. I’m not sure what the point of this article is other than to piss of northeastern liberals.
UPDATE: Mac believes we need to get Roy on the couch.
