Right, it's Obama's fault that fundies are bigots.

No. Religion should not intersect with politics. I think most of us are tired of the uber religious right.

No. But should he be grateful to them?

His vp pick should he win the nomination will solidify the base. I see him picking a hard right conservative.
No. I sure wouldn't.No. Religion should not intersect with politics. I think most of us are tired of the uber religious right.No. But should he be grateful to them?
I'm tired of them, too. But should Obama appreciate their support?

No time to read the whole thread--house guests arriving shortly and we aren't ready--but I'm getting strong vibes that if Romney is the nominee, he will pick Christie as the VP. And that will be a very strong ticket.
There's a large number of us though who would not look adversely on a Cain/Gingrich ticket as I'm pretty sure Cain would choose Newt as his running mate.
Then there is the Ron Paul/Gary Johnson ticket that looks very likely if by some long shot Paul won the nomination. That one though I think is iffy to beat Obama.
No clue who Bachmann, Huntsman, or Santorum would choose but I think it right now looks unlikely that any of them will be either the nominee or the VP pick.
I feel sorry for the GOP. Most of those guys are extremist blowhards.

should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?

Christie won't accept it. He's made himself absolutely clear. He's honoring his commitment to his state. Good for him.
I'd love to see Romney tap Cain as VP.... mainly because the left would go ape-shit.
I'm very skeptical that one would see such a large effect (20% fewer evangelicals voting for Romney than they would for a non-Mormon Christian). Remember that after Obama captured the nomination high-profile pro-Hillary groups were vowing they would never vote for him. In the end, people mostly voted their party and the pro-Hillary groups' dissatisfaction proved a non-factor. And even if hard-right evangelicals do spurn Romney, it will be very hard to disentangle the religious aspects from the political, since Romney is well to their left politically.
Even pastor Jeffress conceded that religion wouldn't play a deciding role for him in the general election. He urged people to support Perry over Romney because he considered the latter a non-Christian. However, he also said he preferred Romney to Obama, a vowed Christian, because he preferred Romney's politics.

I wouldn't go "apeshit" over Romney choosing Cain. What the GOP does is of very little interest to me.

It's interesting to see the GOP candidates all trying to outchristainize each other. As if religion is the new gold standard requirement for POTUS.
agree. I lived in Massachusetts when he was governor and he NEVER injected his faith in to his governorship.should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?
Ed Rollins said last night that over 20% of evangelicals will not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. That's amazing.
I don't like Romney..and I don't plan to vote for him. But he's never injected his religion into the political debates or conversation. It should not be a factor.
