Only that one candidate has swung from being an Episcopalian to being a “Baptist” to whom baptism “wasn’t important” to his spiritual life. The other has been a life-long member or one faith and shows some stability in that regard. That this faith is also not a true Christian faith is a concern; however, considering who all is running, I really don’t think it is. Basically, in Mitt, we are getting a stable family man with a good business background and some executive branch experience. McCain has good points too; however, his bad points outweigh his good.
I think a lot of people will be echoing this conclusion from RedState’s Erick Erickson:
Tonight was not a failure of conservatism, but a triumph of military voters who have made their home in the Republican Party because we are the party of a strong national defense.
In both South Carolina and Florida, they won it for McCain. In the grand coalition of the GOP, we’ve talked about social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. We’ve all ignored the military voters, except John McCain. And he won them big. His message resonated.
