Gary Bauer has been on the airwaves saying 150 ministers or religious leaders or whatever are getting together in the next few days to see if they can form a consensus on endorsing a candidate. I guess we’ll either continue splitting the conservative vote and handing wins to Romney or we’ll finally coalesce around the most experienced, electable candidate and the one who shot to the top of the polls based solely on debate performances and his innate talent without needing any money, ads or endorsements to get there.

George Barna who has never endorsed a candidate just endorsed Newt a few days ago.

Barna is the largest Christian market researcher in the world. He also got his start in the political world.

I suspect that before Florida Santorum and Perry will drop out and request that their supporters go for Newt.

I just have a gut feeling that this nation has gone downhill on morals and ethics so far that Santorum just doesn’t have a chance in the general. If I had my choice it would have been Palin with her strong stance or even Santorum on social issues. Santorum has a weak fiscal stance with his pork etc. I think Gingrich is someone who would begin to turn this country around and then work to get someone a little more to the right next time. While Obama has shocked the nation back from the left a little it’s not going to jump way to the right.

How sad that you actually had to write that, especially here. Thank you for your post of unity. I mean really, is it Catholics v. Evangelicals? Really? Or is it Christ crucified — alone — that matters?

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

The problem with La Haye is that his own rapture theory is beyond “nutty” to the point that “true” Evangelicals finds him an embarrassment.

As Ronald Reagan would say: There you go again... RAPTURE READY?
