Gotta like the guy. Looks like Mittens was AWOL at a social conservative forum.
A pro-abort Mitt would not have had a good night so he ducked it.
No sense in criticizing Romney. Unlike the other candidates he had to be in New Hampshire...or to match socks...or the dog ate his schedule...or something...
It looks like they were both likely wary of the Pastor Jeffress style questioning / accusations they would likely have received at the largely evangelical gathering. The forum is being held at a fundamentalist evangelical Megachurch.
