and that points to a pick up in the economy this spring.

I believe we may even be talking about the "Obama upturn" by then...with full credit going to Obama.

I believe that will be the message the media will be pushing so as to take the economy off the table.

So if the economy is off the table...what else has Mitt got?

Christians value social issues above much else.

Abortion....Gay marriage....the freedom to raise our kids and educate them as we think best....etc,

I dont see Mitt making any outreach to christian conservatives at all before the election.

I cant think of even one place he has tried so far to reach out to a voter like myself....and at this rate i would view it as 'fake" if suddenly he was talking all "Christian " on me...

Thus while I do expect that Mitt will win the primary, but without drawing the Christian Conservative he needs to beat Obama...I dont see Mitt moving into the White House..

I actually dont see any reason to vote for Mitt by Christians, do you?

It's not enough to say, "He is better than the other guy"

Thats not a good enough reason to go stand in line to vote....

A person has to inspire...

Mitt has to have a reason for me to support him...
and he dont...
and he dont plan to give me any.

Remember, he is not owed the vote of the Christian, he has to deserve that vote....

So far, there are 3 or 4 other names in this election that do legitimately deserve the vote and support of Bible-believeing Christians.

I believe Mitt has written-off the support of Conservatives like myself.
I dont see his making any effort to get us to vote for him....

Mitt perhaps thinks he can replace the Christian voter with the "undecided voter"
If this is true , then he is doomed.

To fail to seek out the largest and most important group of conservatives in the Party will only result of pushing such voters into Obama's corner.
