On the day Giuliani is set to speak to the Federalist Society, his campaign has released a list of new additions to his judicial advisory team. One name that jumped out at me was Randy Evans, a longtime friend and advisor to Newt Gingrich. Just to convey a sense of how close Gingrich and Evans are, earlier this year, when Newt was considering running for president, he tapped Evans to head up his candidacy assessment. Gingrich himself has indicated he would stay out of the race during the primary and focus on American Solutions. But he has often praised Giuliani's leadership as mayor, said that the war on terrorism is the paramount issue of our times, and he co-authored a Wall Street Journal piece with Giuliani earlier this year on Iraq. I would caution against reading too much into Evans joining Giuliani's campaign, but it's definitely worth keeping in mind.
