This is a real surprise to me. In the last Values Voters poll, Romney was the ONLY candidate to get ZERO (0) votes. That suggested to me that evangelical Christians would never vote for Romney. But in the latest Values Voters poll, Romney is in first place, beating out the previous winner, Mike Huckabee (who is the only ordained southern baptist minister in the crowd). Giuliani placed 8th, followed by McCain in LAST place.
Suddenly the republican waters are a bit muddier than I thought they were. Ron Paul & Tom Tancredo got more votes that Giuliani or McCain? What's going on?
Candidate Name ... Percentage
1. Mitt Romney ... 27.62 %
2. Mike Huckabee ... 27.10 %
3. Ron Paul ... 14.98%
4. Fred Thompson ... 9.77 %
5. Sam Brownback ... 5.14 %
6. Duncan Hunter ... 2.42 %
7. Tom Tancredo ... 2.30 %
8. Rudy Giuliani ... 1.85 %
9. John McCain ... 1.40 %
Update: The Values Voters poll is sponsored by AFA and chaired by Don Wildmon of AFA. But neither the AFA website nor the Values Voters website mentions the poll or its results. I wonder what that's about.
Update 2: This is a bit confusing, but I guess there are actually TWO Values Voters organizations. The one who sponsored THIS poll was from FRC (Family Research Council) led by Tony Perkins. Frankly, I can't keep them straight.

But that leaves only 7.42 percent who are still for Jesus!
