Comments on: No To Mitt http://www.amconmag.com/larison/2008/04/04/no-to-mitt/ n. the principle of good order<br /><br /> "Observe the strange inversion of all order and sense!

I'm not sure Colorado evangelicals share the same antipathy towards Romney as Southern evangelicals. Romney won the Colorado Springs/El Paso County GOP caucus by about 60%, about the same margin he won in the whole state. Huck overperformed in the Evangelical Mecca but with only 5% more than his state average, while McCain underperformed slightly, despite the city's high veteran population. “Any possible benefit in Michigan from the Romney name would be offset by demoralised voters simply not turning out in other states, and in some swing states with large evangelical populations (e.g., Colorado, Missouri) it could end up costing McCain the election.”
