Evangelicals Split on POTUS Nominee

This is awfully interesting. The Evangelical leadership is split on who to support for the GOP nomination for president. Just last week, Paul Weyrich came out in support of Mitt Romney (despite that Romney is no Christian) and today Pat Robertson has come to the banner of Rudy Giuliani.

Neither candidate supports a whole heck of a lot that Evangelicals really support, so these two endorsements are amazing. But, it also shows that these leaders in the Christian community don’t have an “obvious” candidate that they can all rally behind as far as they are concerned.

This campaign is quite interesting, I have to say. This nomination is all over the map and up in the air still. And it really shows that it is still anyone’s guess on the GOP side.
