For Evangelicals Romney Is The Lesser Of Two Evils
Religious Based News
A recent poll found that evangelicals favor GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over President Obama 67 to 22 percent, but a visit to a Dallas church shows they're doing so grudgingly. "This is a call to arms," says one parishioner. "Whether or not we like the choices, we must make a choice."

Pro-Life Leader: We Must Unite Behind Mitt Romney
Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser says pro-life voters need to unite behind presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney. She says Romney is more than the default candidate pro-life voters should consider to take on pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
"Governor Romney is the committed pro-life candidate in this race," she says in a new opinion column at National Review. "That's not speculation or wishful thinking. Governor Romney has made firm commitments to protect the unborn, their mothers, and pro-life American taxpayers." Ref. Source 6
Vote For Jesus Not Romney
Over the election season, we have been following internet evangelist Bill Keller's "Vote for Jesus" campaign where Christians pledge to write in Jesus Christ for president on November 6. Earlier this week, we reported that over 1 million had signed a pledge signalling their commitment to "Vote for Jesus" because, in Keller's words, this year's Republican and Democratic presidential choices are "Like "Satan flipping a two-headed coin with his head on both sides."

Poll: Evangelical Turnout Increased in 2012 Over 2008
New polling data from the Faith and Freedom Coalition, headed by pro-life advocate Ralph Reed, shows that the evangelical turnout was up in 2012 for Mitt Romney compared to the 2008 numbers for John McCain.
The data makes it appear other reasons are behind the Romney loss to pro-abortion President Barack Obama last night than a failure of social conservative voters to support him. Ref. Source 3
