How the Family Research Council convinced a GOP candidate in N.H. to 'evolve'

Manchester, N.H. mayor Frank Guinta is one of the GOP candidates most likely to flip a House seat -- I'm unaware of a poll that shows Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) leading him. But I've heard some critics of Guinta wonder how, exactly, he won the endorsement of the Family Research Council, even if he does hold a clear advantage among GOP primary voters. In the early part of his career, Guinta was more libertarian, voting against parental consent for abortion and endorsing Rudy Giuliani for president.

"Guinta came into the race with a libertarian streak," acknowleged Connie Mackey, president of FRC Action PAC.

Weigel linked to our article from February, on Guinta at "voting against parental consent." The article was titled "Libertarian-leaning GOPer has comfortable lead over incumbent Dem for Congress." Weigel actually quoted a commenter in our comments section on Guinta's voting record.
