Doubtful social conservatives giving Romney chance

[DaGoose]

Does this mean that the REAL conservatives are willing to nominate someone that most consider a RINO because they feel Perry can't win the general election?

This year, pocketbook issues seem to matter more than pulpit preaching among cultural conservatives and at least some are willing to embrace Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, who they've long looked at skeptically.

But there are others that want Perry regardless.....

"Rick Perry's a Christian. He's an evangelical Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ," said Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Dallas. "Mitt Romney's a good moral person, but he's not a Christian. Mormonism is not Christianity. It has always been considered a cult by the mainstream of Christianity."

Is Perry angling for VP slot??? I don't know of many, if any, conservative Christian organizations who do NOT consider Mormonism a cult.

Asked by reporters Friday night in Tiffin, Iowa, whether Mormonism is a cult, Perry replied, "No."

It's a safe bet that the person below is a union member and some of my unionized co-workers like him. So Romney does have some appeal to union members.

"It's time for the Republican Party to nominate someone who will lead the whole country," said Chris Balkema, a 40-year-old Caterpillar employee from Channahon, Ill. "We don't need to settle. But we need someone will lead the left, right and center of this country, while defending the Constitution."

If Perry's starting to lose support of the strong social conservative GOP wing it can only mean that Romney's starting to sew up the nomination....
