CONSERVATIVES NOW HAVE A CLEAR LEADER. IT'S MITT ROMNEY!

Brit Hume pointed out on FOX NEWS that Romney’s support from conservatives did not come soon enough.  We wholeheartedly agree with this analysis and we have all had a “day late and a dollar short” experience in one-way or another. 

It’s truly unfortunate that Romney's occurred at such an important time in our political decision-making. We must say that some tactics on the part of the McCain and Huckabee camps were not the most attractive and, in our view, the media misinterpreted much of Romney’s comments. I guess that’s par for the course in politics these days but conservatives now need to put the memory of those instances behind them.

As Romney said in the speech suspending his campaign, the two most important issues now facing the country are The War on Terror and The Battle to save our Culture. We agree that his observations in this regard are the most important ones now and we therefore urge conservatives to put aside the past and support John McCain.

The 2008 Presidential election is going to create a “sea change” in American Culture. It can be a change for the better or a precursor to disaster.  As Romney has pointed out, we can be no less concerned than he about the way things are going in the Country so the situation dictates compromise.

We recognize the heart-rending sacrifice Mitt Romney has made in stepping aside and, under other circumstances, we would like to see him continue. However, we also believe that in suspending his campaign and leaving the way clear for McCain, he is not only making a sacrifice for the country but is acting true to form and, as is typical for him, engaging in a pattern of sound thinking.

We have a feeling that Mitt Romney will be back and he will be needed! Meanwhile, in the interest of unity, we support John McCain.
