Trouble On The Right

With a lot of attention paid this week to the Clinton-Obama David Geffen flap, it is easy to neglect similar turmoil churning on the GOP nomination side.

The three current Republican frontrunners -- John McCain, Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani -- all have liabilities hindering their nomination, not least of which is each's lack of bona fides with the critically important social conservative wing of the party.

In short, the Christian right doesn't like any of the three frontrunners, and even has issues with some of the second-tier candidates. David Krikpatrick examines this problematic situation in Sunday's NY Times.

It's a good read, and highlights a dynamic to watch on the GOP side.
