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.<\/p>\n

This first article is from Jay Cost of The Weekly Standard<\/a>. Jay is an excellent writer and even mentions another favorite of mine, Sean Trende from Real Clear Politics.<\/p>\n

Cost believes that a Romney victory will come because of two reasons:<\/p>\n

1) Romney leads among voters who trust him to get our economy back on track<\/p>\n

2) Romney leads among independents<\/p>\n

The first reason is important because regardless of your personal political or religious convictions, the economy is still front and center for everyone.<\/p>\n

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.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
