Edwards Wins Another SEIU Local's Support »
Romney Wins Over High-Ranking South Carolina Minister
Mitt Romney has picked up yet another high-profile Christian conservative in his quest to unite the Christian right behind himself and against Rudy Giuliani. The latest name is Don Wilton, senior pastor of the First Baptist megachurch in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and also a former president of the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
"His values are my values — protecting the sanctity of human life, defending marriage and strengthening the family. We need someone in Washington who will stand up for traditional families and Governor Romney is that person," said Wilton, in remarks obtained by David Brody. "While we may not agree on theology, Governor Romney and I agree that this election is about our country heading in the right direction. Governor Romney is the best candidate to stand for conservative values in Washington."
This follows two other prominent religious conservatives endorsing him yesterday -- including Bob Jones III. All these people will now agitate against Giuliani.

What a joke! Why do self proclaimed Christian Conservatives continue to back candidates that advocate torture? Maybe they think it really is "blessed are the cheesemakers".

They endorse the android because they know he's an empty suit and will be beholden to them. However, I imagine a lot of their church members are throwing up a little in their mouths.
