Robertson nod a setback for Rudy?

Only if you actually believe that Pat Robertson has absolutely no political power within the GOP, and that the Christianist vote means nothing in a general election -- or actually hurts a Republican candidate.

In other words, only if you're delusional.

UPDATE

Lowry, who unlike Putz doesn't have his head totally up his ass (note I wrote "totally"):

Just talked to a top social conservative. He says, hinting that more prominent social cons will end up going with Rudy, "There's plenty more where this comes from." On the impact of the Robertson endorsement on the race: "What it does for Rudy is it says, 'It's OK to vote for Rudy.' I think there will be more of that, pre-nomination and post-nomination." On conservative evangelical voters and Giuliani: "If Rudy is the nominee, they're going to vote for him—period."
