Good compromise,can he win? >Evangelical leaders warm to Romney By Ralph Z. Hallow, washingtontimes.com October 11, 2007 Two social conservatives leaders — in surprise moves yesterday — criticized fellow evangelical and Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, while praising another party hopeful, Mitt Romney, a Mormon. Still, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and American Values President Gary Bauer hope the former Massachusetts governor will passionately express his pro-life views at the Values Voter Summit Oct. 19 and 20 at the Washington Hilton. Many evangelicals have shunned Mr. Romney, a Mormon who evolved from being pro-choice to pro-life on abortion. The only evangelical in the top tier of candidates is Mr. Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, but he hasn't won over the conservative leaders. "I was disappointed that in a recent speech he suggested that we should offer economic incentives to Iran to deter their development of a nuclear bomb and urged more negotiations," Mr. Bauer said. "I don't see how you negotiate with a Holocaust denier." All nine major Republican candidates are expected to attend the summit briefing, where they will give 20-minute speeches to social conservative activists from across the country. The leaders defended Mr. Romney's evolution from pro-choice advocacy to the view that life begins at conception. "I don't think he's flip-flopping," Mr. Perkins said. Mr. Bauer agreed that Mr. Romney's change of heart was sincere, even though it "happened to coincide with a primary schedule." The conservative leaders hold mixed opinions about other leading Republican candidates. Entire article at www.washingtontimes.com
