Good morning!
The GOP presidential candidates trek to the Washington Hilton today to speak to conservative Christian voters at the Family Research Council’s "Values Voter Summit."
Every one of the frontrunners — Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain and Fred Thompson — has had trouble solidifying this important voting bloc, for any number of reasons.
As we reported last night Mr.. Romney will go after Giuliani as too much "like Hillary Clinton" in his remarks this evening…
Unspoken will be the issues some evangelicals have with Mormons, such as Dr. Robert Jeffress at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.
Thompson is taking the approach that he is the only REAL conservative, a la his web ad on the right side of the conservative website Human Events, where he quotes Romney from 1994 and Giuliani from 1999 to buttress the argument that his views have not wavered, unlike some.
McCain will again imply that Romney is "con"ning conservatives with his changes in views over the years…
And who knows what Giuliani will say! Prediction: he will emphasize areas where he and conservative Christians agree (fiscal issues, Hillary mockery, anti-terrorism) and paraphrase Ronald Reagan saying "my 80 percent friend is not my 20 percent enemy."
The FRC’s Tony Perkins says Giuliani just needs to show up, which he is scheduled to do on Saturday. "He’s dehorned by coming," Perkins says.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
What say you about this gathering?

This paper investigates the performance of TCP/AQM systems with ECN marks under the aggressive scale for packet marking and a buffer of size smaller than O(?N). Under such a scale, the paper demonstrates that randomness both in packet arrivals and in packet marking must be taken into account and developed a doubly-stochastic model to capture all the system dynamics. Based on the model, it proves that the system yields good performance in terms of full link utilization and almost zero packet loss, while making the queueing delay negligible and saving more buffer space, as the system size increases.

Here’s some irony for you. There’s a new report out of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) that suggests demand for renewable energy will outpace supply by the year 2010. (The report carries the scintillating title of “A Preliminary Examination of the Supply and Demand Balance for Renewable Energy.”) Come again? Yes, that’s right. The paper, which was funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership, postulates that the combination of state- and federal-level programs requiring a shift to some level of renewable energy usage as well as other incentives encouraging both consumers and companies to add renewable energy to their electricity mix are creating a boom in demand. Altogether 25 states and the District of Columbia have…

Speaking to Christian conservatives at the second annual "Values Voters Summit" tomorrow, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will assail former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a new line of attack, saying, "We’re not going to beat Hillary Clinton by acting like Hillary Clinton."
The line does not mention Giuliani by name, but it will be interpreted as aimed at the former New York mayor, who has a liberal history on many social issues such as abortion and immigration.
Romney maintains that no Republican can win the election without utilizing the three legs of the GOP stool — economic conservatives, national security conservatives and social conservatives. Giuliani is, in effect, trying to replace one of those legs with anti-Islamic-terrorism conservatives, while also arguing that according to polls he poses the strongest challenge to Democratic frontrunner Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and would make normally blue states like New Jersey and California competitive.
In response, Giuliani campaign communications director Katie Levinson told ABC News that "Mitt Romney’s transparent pandering to anyone and everyone who wiill listen to him is clearly not going to end any time soon. Mitt’s positions of the day and personal attacks scream of desperation from a candidate who has spent millions upon millions of his own money only to find Republican voters want something he cannot offer — true leadership."
Romney’s attack comes a few days after former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., told ABC News (and then the Conservative Party of New York) that "some think we can best beat the Democrats nexy year by becoming more like them. I don’t," which was also intended as a criticism of Giuliani.
