Florida looks a lot like New Hampshire.
While Florida seems to indicate a major shift in the Republican presidential race, among voters who identified themselves as evangelical or born again, last night's results look somewhat familiar, with Romney, Huckabee, and McCain all bunched up again.

Am I the only evangelical voting for Ron Paul? Or do we just not count?

Larry,
Yep, you're the only one.

Larry, you're not the only one. We don't count because the media doesn't want him to win. He's the biggest threat to the Democrats. The media would love to have Billary in the White House. Lots of fodder for their blogs. Paul would not provide very much fodder, sticking to the constitution and all.

Where's our Christian compassion? None of the Republican candidates, except for Mike Huckabee, show any significant evangelical compassion as illustrated in the Bible. I know where my vote as an evangelical will be--Obama or Clinton. Then we are assured of a significant witness for Christ.

you have got to be kidding that we are willing to confuse government give aways and governmental power for 'significant witness for Christ' Please, where is our understanding of basic economics and a cup of cold water in MY name?

I consider myself a moderate evangelical who might vote for Ron Paul if, by some fluke of the universe, was nominated by the Republicans. But, I also think the Republican and Democratic Parties have so much power, that they will not support a truly good and Godly candidate that can be supported by the majority of the people. The only way I think we as a nation can truly have a fair election is to use the Sherman Anti-trust Laws to break up the the Republican and Democratic parties and have the members of each party switch to an existing third party. I have friends and family members who belong to one or the other party who feel that if you don't vote for the party they belong to, you are a traitor to the country. And I feel that if you do not vote for a conservative Christian Republican, not only have you betrayed your country, you have sinned almost as bad as not keeping the Ten Commandments

Surprise, surprise... no Ron Paul! Even though he beat Giuliani in nearly every primary/caucus except NH. And Ron Paul got second in Nevada and Louisiana. The neo-cons and liberals control the media... even Christianity Today! Ironically, he's the only one who represents the Constitution as well as true conservatism.

Ron Paul isn't doing so well among evangelicals, actually. In the last two matchups, he got 2 percent of the evangelical Republican vote. Elsewhere: Iowa: 10% (same as McCain), N.H. 3%, Mich. 5%, Nevada 13%. Thompson actually did as well or better in every case but Nevada. Duncan Hunter supporter(s): You don't want to know.

Please do our nation a favor and bring us back to the CONSTITUTION!
Check out Ron Paul before you vote! A Christian man who does not use the cross to get elected.
