Sam's Club
Andrew Sullivan puts two and two together and comes up with a plausible rationale for a Sam Brownback candidacy: It seems that the white evangelical base has turned against the war. That's the group that has heretofore been most supportive of George W. Bush.
That's also Brownback quintessential group -- conservative on all the major social issues, but with the added twist that he happens to be a converted Catholic and has a serious interest in African disease and poverty.
His take on these issues -- and reflecting the growing anti-war sensibilities of the evangelicals --makes him an immediate threat to Mitt Romney AND John McCain.
Interesting.
