KEY POINTS:
New Hampshire - As a sign from the Almighty, it could not been clearer: God does not like Rudy.
During a debate among Republican candidates at a small Catholic university college here, "America's mayor", as Rudy Giuliani now calls himself, was setting out his position on abortion. Abishop had compared his stance on abortion to Pontius Pilate's position on the crucifixion of Jesus: personally opposed to it but willing to allow it happen.
Giuliani was in mid-flow when a bolt of lightning struck the debating hall and knocked out his microphone. The sound returned, only for more lightning to bring the proceedings to a brief halt.
For religious conservatives, it may well be the sign they were hoping for.
