I wrote yesterday about the social conservatives (led by Dr. James “Goober” Dobson) threatening to abandon ship if Rudy Giuliani is the nominee. And now,

I just got off the phone with a senior conservative consultant who has spent the morning working the phones to social conservative leaders who have pledged not to support a Rudy Giuliani candidacy, should he win the GOP nomination.

According to my source, these conservative leaders have narrowed the field of alternatives.

I’m told that former AL Chief Justice Roy Moore will be the first choice if Rudy is the nominee (there were rumblings about him in ‘04, but he was talked out of it to run for governor).

Yes, Roy may be back, and on the national stage. I couldn’t be more excited!

Of course the blog entry then goes on to say Moore’s name was never mentioned…but we can ignore the facts and get excited about the possibilities right now…it’s just too good to be true, and probably is.

UPDATE: CBS went with calling it a “Moore-like candidate” instead of reporting he is being drafted. Good approach.
