"...it isn't surprising that Rudolph W. Giuliani, a self-described pro-choice candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has been courting religious conservatives who disagree with him on legalized abortion. And it can be argued that if Christian conservatives shouldn't insist on a litmus test in evaluating Giuliani's candidacy, the former New York City mayor shouldn't insist that everyone whose endorsement he accepts agree with him 100%.That said, Giuliani's endorsement by televangelist Pat Robertson is a bizarre addition to the annals of politics making strange bedfellows" --LA Times Article

Strangely enough, Pat Robertson has endorsed Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani's presidential campaigning although he does not agree with Giuliani's platform on legalizing abortion. Pat Robertson is probably one of the most conservative figures in politics at this time, therefore it came a shock when he publicly endorsed Giuliani, who has always been a more liberal Republican candidate.

It really makes one wonder, what in fact motivated Robertson to agree with Giuliani's presidential candidacy? For someone who is so strongly associated with conservative ideals, it is extremely out of character for him to support a candidate with extremely oppositing positions. This endorsement really illuminates the intense nature of the presidential race at this particular moment. Whether Robertson agreed to endorse Guliani for political reasons or because of other means, he agreed to support him nonetheless.
