should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?
IF. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. If Obama won is some mighty big wishful thinking.

should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?
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.
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 wouldn't go "apeshit" over Romney choosing Cain. What the GOP does is of very little interest to me.
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?
You don't mind when Blacks preach from the pulpit to support Obama though do you?

Yep, I do. I'm not a partisan hack like you, retard.
God Almighty will speak to the Evangelicals and tell them to Vote Romney and make obie wan go back to the windy city..
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.
And the funny thing is..no Democrat is going to make this an issue. This is purely on the right.
His vp pick should he win the nomination will solidify the base. I see him picking a hard right conservative.
Funny you should say that. I saw a republican and democratic pudit suggesting that he might be thinking about Herman Cain. Given his behavior toward Cain, that's not so farfetched. It would be a more exciting ticket then say, Romney/Pawlenty..but not as safe.

I don't think evangelicals are really that bigotted, nor do I think they will support Obama over Romney.

If?
Would it make any real difference either way?

I'm just guessing at the percentage of Republicans who call themselves evangelical, but it's probably close to 20%..? So Ed Rollins, at this stage of posturing for the nomination, claims that 20% of THEM refuse to vote for Romney. I think that obviously remains to be seen and most likely if given the choice of Obama winning or not winning, they will join the other 80% of their fellow evangelicals, hold their nose and vote for the Mormon... Just my opinion. I'd still like to see the Rollins quote though...
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.
