Politico: "[B]lessing" by Robertson -- who called for assassination of Hugo Chavez and spoke of Europe's "racial suicide" -- gives Giuliani "momentum"

SUMMARY: Politico.com called Pat Robertson endorsement of Rudy Giuliani a "blessing" and said that it gives Giuliani "momentum." Similarly, the Politico's Mike Allen wrote that, with Robertson's announcement, Giuliani "has one of the most resonant imprimaturs with Christian voters." However, in claiming that Robertson's endorsement "gives Rudy Giuliani momentum" -- a questionable claim, given that the endorsement had been announced just that morning -- the Politico ignored Robertson's history of controversial statements.
