So who will conservatives vote for? Obama? Really... Three words... SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. Grow up.
Many won’t vote. Grow up.
Hildy, With all due respect, many of us will not vote for Romney because we do not trust him. Besides the documentation we have of him saying he is pro-life and against gay marriage, and then doing the opposite at a later date. For instance, he said judges forced him to sign the gay marriage bill in his state, but see post 43, where he did NOT have to sign gay marriage, he chose to AFTER he say he was against gay marriage.
Hildy, It seems you have the same attitude that the Mormon religious group had in the Religious Leaders meeting in January. Erick Ericksonn of Redstate said the Mormon religious group were saying more or less, you conservatives WILL line up and vote for romney, like it or not.

The evangelical movement...... Since a few have decided to leak so many details from the meeting as background and anonymous sources, I want to clarify a few things from my perspective and I will do it decidedly on the record.
.
The Romney advocacy did more harm than good and I think the biggest story to come out of this event has to be both the hostility between evangelicals and Team Romney and the absolute endorsement for Not Romney.
If you are reading this from the media, I think the story you should tell is that Mitt Romney will probably become the nominee of the Republican Party with even less good feelings between evangelicals and him than John McCain had.
The problem for Team Romney is that the distrust of Romney is overwhelmingly about his record and shiftiness, but the Romney campaign fundamentally believes it is about his religion. When Team Romney concluded the pitch (read from an iPad seemingly without a passionate delivery) with an admonishment to not be an anti-Mormon bigot, it was game over.

Several of the attendees felt like the Romney campaign was almost implying that theyd win without evangelicals and would expect everyone to line up when it was over even without Romney reaching out.

Note to Team Romney: when you are in a room full of Christian leaders like those who were in that room and who have all long been attacked by the left as bigots, it is unwise no, it is damn foolish to accuse them of being anti-Mormon bigots, something too many Romney supporters have descended to as the only possible explanation for daring to not get on board with Romney.
Its interesting that the outreach concerns are so universal. Inside the conservative blogosphere, among social conservatives, and among specifically the evangelical community there is a great deal of concern that, unlike John McCain, once the Romney camp has it in the bag theyll go off to woo independents and leave smoldering or un-repaired bridges back to the base.
