The Family Research Council can’t do math. They have ‘til about the beginning of February to make up their minds. By the end of Feb 5 over 1300 of the 2400 delegates will be chosen.
They must decide on Duncan, Romney, or Thompson within about a month. That’s all the time they have to decide. After that they won’t be able to really help anyone’s candidacy by rallying the troops....unless they can rally them a whole lot faster than I think they can.
From the rest of the editorial (WND is excerpt only now) it seems that the FRC might try to push Mike Huckabee. I don’t know a whole lot about Huckabee because he didn’t seem to be in the running, but it might be time to start reading up on him.

***I agree. That’s my biggest frustration with the socon evangelical leaders is that they’ve been sitting on their hands and have waited too long.
Why did you put Romney in there, He is a MSM/DNC/RNC pick?
The Perkins endorsement to Romney was disgusting, a rotten mouthful of corruption.
On top of my skepticism of Dobson, which I’ve had for at least 15 years (for theological reasons), I have less reason than ever to be impressed with Dobson.
what a hugely disappointing article.
Not ONE mention of Thompson!!! proven conservative credentials and NO mention ... huh?!?
Romney dismissed on the basis of bigotry (he’s Mormon. Note to bigots: get over yourself about it, he’s running for president not pastor) NO mention of his support for Federal marriage Amendment.
And all this fluff about Huckabee. Why? Because he’s prolife. Is that so standout, in a field of multiple prolife contenders?

While this is important, it is only important if the first vote at the convention results in 1 person getting 50% plus at least 1 vote. If no one wins by a majority, the delegates are free to vote to whoever they choose in any subsequent votes.
