Leading Evangelical Finds Giuliani's Marital History A Problem

On Tuesday, Richard Land, head of public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention, told the Associated Press that while evangelicals might tolerate a divorced presidential candidate, Rudy Giuliani's marital history poses serious problems for them. Giuliani is currently married for a third time. Land said that Giuliani showed a lack of character during his divorce from his second wife, TV personality Donna Hanover. On the other hand, while another Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, has been married twice, Land said that war hero McCain has acknowledged his part in the failure of his first marriage.
