Romney Wins Straw Poll by Single Vote Helped by Evangelicals for Mit

Posted on 04/10/2010 5:59:09 PM PDT by GeorgeSaden

Mitt Romney, the once and likely future presidential candidate, didn’t show up to address the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, but that didn’t stop him from walking away with the big prize from the gathering.

The former Massachusetts governor bested the competition in a straw poll conducted here over the past two days. Romney received 24 percent of a total of 1,806 ballots cast when voters were asked to name the candidate they would support if the Republican primary for president were held today.

A group whipping votes for Romney, Evangelicals for Mitt, spent the day handing out plastic pink piggy banks with a plea to “elect a president who won’t break the bank” emblazoned on the side.

That same group of evangelical supporters helped push Romney to a second place showing in this same straw poll four years ago at the 2006 Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Memphis, Tenn.

Evangelicals are our most conservative voters, they do not support Romney and are the voting block that is his biggest problem, that is why it was brilliant for the Romney camp to use this fake name for the group.

It was also cynical and insulting to Christians, especially Evangelical Christians.

Great pic. It represents Romney's perpetual hallucinations.
