Rudy Giuliani shares the lead among conservative voters in the Republican presidential race, despite the New Yorker's three marriages and moderate views on abortion, guns, and gays. Yet a close look suggests his support from the GOP's potent right wing is less than meets the eye, according to recent Associated Press-Ipsos polls. Conservatives, evangelical and born-again voters, and strongly loyal Republicans who back Giuliani tend to be less conservative, less religiously active and less supportive of President Bush than those favoring Fred Thompson, Giuliani's chief rival so far, the surveys show.

Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past.''
The gay rights movement reaches a milestone Thursday when its agenda is the subject of a televised Democratic presidential forum. Yet many activists--craving bolder support for same-sex couples--view the unprecedented event with mixed emotions. Though pleased that most of the candidates of a major party are courting their votes and endorsing the bulk of their political wish list, they are frustrated that none of the front-runners is calling for legalization of same-sex marriage.

And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,'' Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
