There is one person-and one person only-whom conservative evangelicals should try to recruit if they want one of their own to win the presidency. However, this person won't be presidential timber in '16 or '20 for that matter. In fact this person wouldn't be poised for probably 16 years at least.
This person's popularity isn't hurt by the fact that the country is growing less religious, and while fools like Akin and Mourdoch paid a price for butchering a pro-life message in pro-life states with insensitive and ignorant remarks, this person has already delivered a pro-life message that was widely received as uplifting and inspiring.
This is a person, who has shown popularity that transcends race, gender, age and economic class more successfully than moderate Republicans. The person's present popularity isn't really determined or defined by party affiliation.
This person has received praise from Limbaugh and Chris Matthews, as well as President Obama. Sure there are some haters, but most would agree that the person's beliefs are more genuine and sincere than just about anyone, who's run.
Finally, this person would be a shoe-in to carry the swing state of Florida along with a couple of others. Efforts to smear this person's - shall we say, political inexperience - could have the effect of backfiring badly.
The person is well liked, bright, articulate, good looking with a contagious smile and sense of humor.
Can you guess by now who this is?

Tennessee GOP Stalwart Forced to Rethink HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — She arrived early to take apart the campaign office piece by piece, just as she felt so many other things about her life were being dismantled. Beth Cox wore a Mitt Romney T-shirt, a cross around her neck and fresh eyeliner, even though she had been crying on and off and knew her makeup was likely to run. A day after the election, she tuned the radio to Glenn Beck and began pulling posters and American flags off the wall.
Her calendar read “Victory Day!!” and she had planned to celebrate in the office by hosting a dance party and selling Romney souvenirs. But instead she was packing those souvenirs into boxes, which would be donated to a charity that sent clothes to South America. Instead a moving company was en route to close down the office in the next 48 hours, and her friends were calling every few minutes to see how she was doing.
“I will be okay,” she told one caller. “I just don’t think we will be okay.”
Here in the heart of Red America, Cox and many others spent last week grieving not only for themselves and their candidate but also for a country they now believe has gone wildly off track. The days after Barack Obama’s reelection gave birth to a saying in Central Tennessee: Once was a slip, but twice is a sign....
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Rubio Declines to Say How Old The Earth IsSen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) declined to tell GQ magazine how old he thought the earth was, saying it's "one of those great mysteries."
Said Rubio: "I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries." http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/1...l#disqus_thread

Rubio Declines to Say How Old The Earth Is I have a friend from high school who is a Born Again Evangelical. He once told me the Earth is 4,000 years old. I just said "whatever" and dropped the subject. Is that daylight savings time? Makes me wanna watch "Inherit the Wind" again.

It was the Republican primaries and campaign. Marco is unelectable if he is going to be cute on issues like this.

He won't try to "Save Me", and I won't post pictures of Jesus riding a dinosaur on his Facebook page.
