With Mike Huckabee deciding not to run for President, I still contend that Barack Obama is the Evangelicals best candidate for President. His resume is quite impressive. He has confessed his belief in Jesus in front of millions. He called him by name by the way. He has been married to the same woman for 14-years and he has two lovely daughters who seem to be well rounded. He is also building leadership experiences that make him a good and deliberate military leader. Just look at how he took out Osama bin Laden. His work, as a domestic leader, is non-impeachable. Just ask Donald Trump and the birthers. So how does he compare to the leaders in the GOP field:
- Mitt Romney: He is said to be the front-runner but the Wall Street Journal recently called him Obama’s running mate because of the Healthcare bill he passed in Massachusetts. It is what Obama based his healthcare reform bill on. It is Romney’s albatross.Romney’s other problem is that he is a Mormon. That may fly with those social conservatives in the north, but Evangelicals from the Bible belt will have a hard time with his religion because they do not think Mormons are going to heaven.
- Newt Gingrich: Newt is probably the most financially and governmentally astute of the current candidates, but Newt has a problem keeping his pants on. Newt’s current wife worked in his office during Bill Clinton’s impeachment over Monica Lewinsky. They had an affair that lasted for years. Newt believes, rightly, that social conservatives will forgive him, but he will also have a problem with media because bloggers will constantly challenge him on the moral issues on which he has no standing but talks about anyway.
- Jon Huntsman: Huntsman looks too much like an Obama ally since his stint as Ambassador to China. He also does not pass the religious mustard because he is Mormon.
- Rick Santorum: This guy has a Google problem that he may never overcome. Google his last name and see what comes up.
- Ron Paul: The Texas legislator has a minor credibility problem and his own party really does not want to vote for him. He may have the best chance of being the darling of the Tea Party though.
- Donald Trump: Buffoon.
- Sarah Palin: I hope she does run because she has got some hard questions to answer. She may be the one GOP candidate who can pull together the evangelicals and the social conservatives except she is prone to bouts of idiocy.
So, Evangelicals, you should VOTE for Obama in 2012. He is the best man for the job according to your core beliefs.

This is great reading, especially at this point in time, with the benefit of hindsight! You put a great twist on trying to sway Evangelicals to support Pres. Obama. In this election year, crazier things COULD happen!
