With God On His Side

Published Dec 04 2006, 10:32 PM by Adam Reilly

As expected, Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas filed papers to form a Presidential exploratory committee this morning. Brownback is way, way behind Mitt Romney in pursuit of the presumably open position of right-wing alternative to McCain/Giuliani in the Republican nominating process.

Romney is way ahead in developing funders, getting organized in early primary/caucus states, and recruiting key people.

On the other hand, Brownback has the support of Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, who brings with him the votes of the residents of Ave Maria, his personal Catholic town described by my colleague Adam Reilly in the article City of God.
