Texas is shaping up for an interesting primary race this cycle even thought it’s possible the nominee maybe selected or nearly selected by the time Texas has it’s primary. Perry backing Giuliani, Patterson backing Thompson and Hutchison potentially backing Romney and/or running for gov. herself. Big money maybe split many ways this time around.
Host Alan Colmes:
"Now, Roe versus -- now, you are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...
Giuliani:"That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And [John Roberts] fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category. I mean, she was -- she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her. I expect, and listening to Senator Nelson, I expect that John Roberts will get support from a lot of Democrats."
