With Santorum Out, Evangelicals Edge Toward Romney, but Cautiously
NY Times ^ | April 11, 2012 | Erik Eckholm

Rick Santorum had been the last best hope of Christian conservatives who opposed Mitt Romney, derided by many as a “Massachusetts moderate.” Now, facing the abrupt end of Mr. Santorum’s presidential bid, some evangelical leaders have begun to rally behind Mr. Romney, saying their shared hostility toward President Obama will be a powerful force for uniting the party in November.

Thanks for the tip, but I rely more on articles from Wall Street Journal and Barron’s and Investor’s Business Daily. There I can search on Romney’s news clips during his governorship of 4 years. I will also keep in mind that the MA legislature is overwhelmingly democrat. The one item I am really interested is in double checking if Romney really used 800 vetoes in 4 years against the democrats, as he claims.

Have we heard yet from O. J. Simpson or is he too busy looking for his wife’s killer.
Oh, never mind!
