Either it was a most unusual party or else it was a most unusual testimony time. I'm referring to a Tuesday evening event at a banquet hall in Hollis, New Hampshire. What made the event most unusual is that the event was both a party and a testimony time.
I'm speaking of the post-election event where many of us gathered to celebrate the strong showing of Ted Cruz in the New Hampshire primary.
Several hundred campaign workers gathered among hundreds of boxes of pizza and dozens of TV cameras to celebrate Cruz's strong third-place finish. Why celebrate third? Because New Hampshire is the most unlikely place for such a man as Ted Cruz to do well. I know. I've lived either here or in adjacent Massachusetts most of my life. Most New Hampshire Republicans are not conservative. Sometimes it's hard to think of them as Republicans at all. And Christians, for the most part, are not evangelical, charismatic or Pentecostal. We are the "un-Bible Belt."
And yet, Ted did so well.
One reason he did is that during the months of whistle stops and town halls, voters discovered Ted is a man of both conviction and compassion.

Exactly. Which is a pattern that has become evident in the Cruz campaign.
LOl. That’s not Cruz’s crowd today. He needed to piggyback on some rock band’s crowd.
Bringing it home next in S.Carolina!!!
It’s interesting how they are always yammering about how Evangelicals make up 66 percent of the vote in the SC primary, and that is a sign that Cruz will do very good, or even win, because Evangelicals are so conservative.
I guess that’s why they keep electing Lindsey Graham as their senator, and why Niki Haley got elected. They don’t sound so conservative to me.
Yeah, because America Needs an Elmer Gantry, now more then ever.
Poor Teddy Bare!
Is that Rubio in the blazer over by the camera man?
Losing is the new winning. Praise be to God for Donald Trump.
Praise God. God has sent Donald Trump to America in its time of need. The right man for the job.
Go Trump!
That’s the Christian Rock concert in Greenville. He said a prayer, that’s all.
It was totally unrelated to Cruz. He just hijacked it so that he could see what it was like to speak in front of more than a handful of people.
