Why Romney is Likely to Win and With Evangelicals At His Side

I was preparing to write a post on this topic but in my daily reading on Friday I came across two articles by Jay Cost and David and Nancy French that say it all. The bottom line is that I believe not only will Mitt Romney win the presidency, but he will do it with the overwhelming support of evangelical voters. This first article is from Jay Cost of The Weekly Standard. Jay is an excellent writer and even mentions another favorite of mine, Sean Trende from Real Clear Politics. Cost believes that a Romney victory will come because of two reasons: 1) Romney leads among voters who trust him to get our economy back on track 2) Romney leads among independents The first reason is important because regardless of your personal political or religious convictions, the economy is still front and center for everyone. The second article is from my friends Nancy and David French who manage the Evangelicals for Mitt website. They paint a clear picture of why Romney could outperform President George W. Bush in support of evangelicals because of the damage President Obama has done to America's social fabric. Read it here.

Ann Romney Doesn’t Consider Herself ‘Wealthy;’ Cites Compassion From Her Disease

Ann Romney, the wife of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, said Monday that she didn't consider herself wealthy, and as someone suffering from multiple sclerosis, she now has more compassion for others who are suffering. "[O]ne thing this disease has been for me has been a wonderful teacher," Mrs. Romney said during an interview on Fox News. "And with that comes an ability for compassion for others that are suffering from M.S. or cancer or any disease I feel like I want to throw my arms open and say, welcome to my family and welcome to the place where I've been and, so you know, we can be poor in spirit and I don't look – I don't even consider myself wealthy which is an interesting thing. It can be here today and gone tomorrow…" Moments after the candidate's wife made the comments, media sites including Twitter and blog posts began circulating her comment about not being wealthy. Think Progress, an ultra-liberal website, first reported the story. Click here to read the rest of the article.

Prop 8 Appeal: Will Supreme Court Decide Gay Marriage Once and for All?

Legal scholars say the U.S. Supreme Court may have to decide whether federal court has the power to overturn a state protection of traditional marriage in the wake of the controversial 9th Circuit Appeal Court decision negating California Proposition 8. But it is not clear this is the case that either protectors or challengers to traditional marriage want the high court to decide. American Center for Law and Justice attorney and legal scholar David French says he is somewhat perplexed by last Tuesday's ruling by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court and questions how the Supreme Court would handle the case. "They certainly tried to make the ruling as narrow as possible," French told The Christian Post. "Still, I believe they made a mistake in the sense that when talking about marriage - they discussed the importance of marriage as an institution. Yet they gave no legitimate reason for marriage when advancing the state's interest. I think it only complicates the issue." Click here to read the rest of the article.
