I am a Bible believing Christian and I personally know hundreds of evangelical Christians - every one of whom couldn’t wait to get to the polls and vote for Romney. Maybe the sector of evangelical Christianity that I am personally involved with is more politically astute than the rest of evangelical Americans - but I doubt it. I don’t believe these so called statistics.
I truly have no real idea but have the opinion that the G.O.P. mega-failed at getting out the vote. The dims have become a machine at doing that, and if the G.O.P. wants to survive they will have to step up. I talked to several people yesterday that were unhappy that Obama won, yet they didn’t vote. They all had excuses of course- none gave me the excuse that Romney is a Mormon, or he wasn’t conservative enough- in fact they were Romney supporters that just didn’t make the effort to register and or vote. People have posted here that they did not vote for Romney for religious reasons or conservative issues so I know there are some.
I don’t think it is wise for any R candidate to throw Evangelicals or conservatives under the bus and don’t believe they can win the Presidency doing it but there are potential voters that need to be attracted. I can’t imagine that people need to be babysitted to vote but seems to be true.
