Being ahead in Iowa means you are ahead in Iowa......and little else.

As for the "evangelical right"?

Here are my views on the Republican evangelical right, and the role it may have in the next few weeks.

Lets face the facts of life between Mitt and the evangelical right.
And the facts of life are that Mitt is in a cult, and this is asking a lot for the evangelical right to give up all its normal goals when they go to vote for him.

Remember the evangelical right is well known for what two key issues? -
#1 - Abortion
#2 - prayer in schools.

So when you are asking the evangelical right to vote for Mitt you are asking them to in a very real way to abandon their two major issues.

Because in the back of every single evangelical voter's mind their is the knowledge that Mitt has clearly made statements in the past that link him to a pro-choice position...

And.....

Because the god of Mitt does not in any way, shape or form represent the God that the evangelical Christian voter prays to.

So this means that BOTH of the key issues for the evangelical voter are GONE!

Off the table...

Totally missing from the debate...

Unspoken of....

That the 2 reasons most evangelical voter's rise up in such numbers that they can swing an election, are going to be totally missing from this election.

This fact of life is behind the push for "Anyone but Mitt" that has had one name after another carry it's banner.

And guess what?
Should Newt fall, should he say something so bad that he drops out of the race, there will be such a swing by the the evangelical right to one of the others left in the race that it will be stunning.

My guess right now would be that if Newt falls in the next month that all the people who support him would suddenly switch to Rick Santorum.
