Proving that this blog is NOT bought and sold... (I have said from the beginning that I like both Mitt and Huck - but my main focus is "ANYONE BUT RUDY - an idea whose time has come!")
Fair is always fair - and this was the strongest graph from the National Review's endorsement of Mitt Romney:
We believe that Romney is a natural ally of social conservatives. He speaks often about the toll of fatherlessness in this country. He may not have thought deeply about the political dimensions of social issues until, as governor, he was confronted with the cutting edge of social liberalism. No other Republican governor had to deal with both human cloning and court-imposed same-sex marriage. He was on the right side of both issues, and those battles seem to have made him see the stakes of a broad range of public-policy issues more clearly. He will work to put abortion on a path to extinction. Whatever the process by which he got to where he is on marriage, judges, and life, we’re glad he is now on our side — and we trust him to stay there.
