...october the Republican Presidential candidates spoke before social conservatives, mostly Evangelicals, at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit. The event was awkward for several of the contenders. Mitt Romney's Mormonism does not go over well with all evangelical Christians. Rudy Giuliani is pro-choice.

Mike Huckabee still didn’t quite understand it totally. Bet that made your decision easier, didn?...
