I know I’m coming late to the Real Marriage party, but I finally finished the book (don’t blame me for being slow! I also had some sic-fi and apocalyptic fiction to read, and zombies always trump marriage books). Before I deliver my verdict — if you care to read it — let me begin with three disclosures: First, not only have I never read a marriage book in my life, Nancy and I did not attend pre-marital counseling, we’ve never...

As I mentioned recently, some of us at Evangelicals for Mitt have been really caught up in the ups and downs of this Presidential race. We’ve noticed that our attitudes and emotions have been directly tied to polls, successes, and failures of the race. This meant we were elated over Iowa, happy over New Hampshire, angry after South Carolina, and – then — incredibly disappointed when Iowa went into Santorum’s column. That’s where we are, in the middle of all... Read more
I’ve slowed down slightly on posting, but that doesn’t mean I’ve slowed down on writing. Today in the Washington Post, Jordan Sekulow, Matt Clark, and I make the positive case that conservative Christians and Tea Partiers are moving to Mitt: Buried in the exit polls from Romney’s more than 15 point win over Newt Gingrich is the fact that Romney won Protestants, Catholics, and virtually tied among evangelicals. Tea Partiers too broke for Romney. With this, Romney has won the conservative Christian... Read more
While driving tonight from our home in Columbia, Tennessee, to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountain National Park, I got so enthralled with the election coverage that I missed our exit and drove fifty miles out of the way. But nothing could dampen our spirits. What a great, great night. Here’s a sample of the best coverage. Rich Lowry: Carpetbombing works. That’s the lesson of Florida, where Mitt Romney overwhelmed Newt Gingrich on the air and in every other aspect of the campaign.... Read more
Univision’s talented Jorge Ramos asked Newt Gingrich a great question in an interview released yesterday: RAMOS: When you were Speaker of the House, you criticized President Clinton for having an extramarital affair. GINGRICH: No, I criticized him for lying under oath in front of a federal judge, for committing perjury, which is a felony for which normal people go to jail. However, that’s not quite true. In a commentary for a conservative publication, he seemed to go much further than... Read more
Everyone says he “knocked it out of the ballpark.” Really? Read more

Another review of the book: “It’s Mitt.” No exclamation point, and precious little enthusiasm. After all, he’s Mormon, and as much as I know America needs a smart manager to get us out of this mess, I hesitate to give this guy, whom I perceive to promote theological heresy, any kind of platform. Romney may mouth support for my social conservatism, but will he really deliver? . . . That’s what I thought. I just purchased and read through the... Read more
Review three! In their book, Why Evangelicals Should Support Mitt Romney (And Feel Good about It!), David and Nancy French share their experience about their decision to support Republican Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney, starting with his first run back in 2006. Coming from Southern Evangelical backgrounds, their decision was not especially easy, particularly for Nancy whose initial reaction was, “I won’t vote for a Mormon!” The book takes us through their paradigm shift of determining that not only is...

With the South Carolina primary reaching levels of near-insanity, Nancy and I surveyed this scene and said, “This primary contesting is missing just one thing: A full-page ad from the co-founders of Evangelicals for Mitt.” With the primary two days away — and with our new book out — we wanted to let South Carolinians know they could read the true story of Mitt and Ann’s faithfulness and integrity. We took bought a full-page ad for our book in South... Read more
