Mitt Romney has been out of the presidential race for awhile now but some social conservative leaders are still concerned about him. They are worried that he'll be McCain's Vice-President. Check out the open letter to McCain here from these family leaders. The names attached to this open letter are big ones in the social conservative world but one stands out: Paul Weyrich. He endorsed Romney during the primary and now has signed this letter trashing Romney for VP. Huh? Excuse me while I scratch my head and take an Excedrin. Part of the letter is below:
"If Governor Romney is on your ticket, many social conservative voters will consider their values repudiated by the Republican Party and will either stay away from the polls this November or only vote down ticket. For the sake of your election, the health of your party, and the future of America you must not allow the obvious electoral consequences of that to occur."
By the way, this full page advertisement starts running tomorrow (Saturday, April 5th) in cities where McCain will campaign.
