INDIANA
JANUARY 4, 2008

In Northern Indiana, on our way to New Hampshire, we will have dinner at the home of Donna and Cliff Rice. Both are attorneys and Christian conservatives. Only after Donna heard Rudy Giuliani speak at the recent Family Research Council's Values Voters Conference in Washington D.C. did the couple decide to support him as their party's candidate, despite his stand on abortion and gay rights: “We are both interested in seeing someone with integrity and leadership ability in the White House. We would rather deal with issues of disagreement openly and with respect, however, than be pandered to by a politician trying to win our favor. That was part of Giuliani's appeal.... We are opposed to abortion, but do not see this as a one issue campaign. There are many issues of critical importance to the American way of life and our stability as a nation”.
