Evangelical leaders checking out Romney
Mitt is getting checked out by our "best and brightest." My prediction - if elected president, there will be a Mormon revival in this country, and that is not good. Not good at all.Gathered in his kitchen were 15 of the country's leading evangelicals, including giants like Jerry Falwell, Franklin Graham and Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention. They'd come to nibble sandwiches, slurp soup and quiz Romney on his faith. Why on earth should they support Romney, a Mormon, in his presidential candidacy in 2008? Richard Lee, a Baptist minister from Cumming, Ga., got to the heart of the matter. What did Romney really believe about Jesus Christ? Romney didn't hesitate. More

If the race comes down to either Clinton or Obama vs. "Any Republican", I will vote for "Any Republican". I think a lot of Conservatives would do the same. The real key to sucess is to decide who "Any Republican" is. We conservatives cannot wait for the general election in any race. We must get into the primaries in every race.
I am still unsure which Republican I would rather see become President. Romney is still on my list of maybes. I will take this writing as one factor to consider.
I also want to let you know that I am in a primary race of my own. Check out www.ElectCliffBrown.com
Its just my personal opinion, but Cliff's comments represent exactly what I think is wrong with politics. On one hand, if "we" don't know enough about Obama to know if he would be a good candidate, how can you already know you would'nt vote for him? Its time for us to elect some good people into office. The strategy of party or everything else has put us in a very bad situation. I dont respect when people have the position that they are going to vote for a particular party regardless. And further more, for someone seeking office, I see how that sort of thinking could be a potential hurdle to working with people of opposing views. Unless you are Jesus, you don't always have all the right answers.
I do not always have the right answers, but I can always recognize the wrong ones.
Cliff, you should take that talent on the road then. What's your opinion of the "right" being lead by a majority of people did not serve when it was there time to serve? I ask you that because it is going to take a conservative to explain to me why Rush Limbaugh gets so much respect with you guys yet conservatives bash the likes of Kerry, Webb, Rangel, Clark and other Dems who served in combat. Both Cheney and Rush opted out when it was their time to serve, yet they seem far to eager to call other people cowards and to encourage other people to send their kids to do what they would not do. Rush asked for a pass from military service because of a boil on his butt, yet it does not seem to have effected the decades he has sat on his butt in radio. I guess I am confused as to how our perspectives have gotten so skewed that we can make veterans look like cowards and those that avoided military service seem like national heroes just based on words.
