A Former Ambassador To The Vatican Endorses Romney

Ambassador Thomas Melady, the legat to the Vatican during the presidency of George H.W. Bush announced his endorsement today of Mitt Romney.

"In Governor Mitt Romney, I have found a candidate who represents the family values that are so important to me. His appreciation for the value of a strong family is clearly exhibited in his vision for America," an on-message Melady will say in a statement released by the campaign.

A side note: a Romney adviser, Mary Ann Glendon, has just been nominated by President Bush to be ambassador to the Vatican.

Though, in a troubling sign for the Romney campaign, a new general election poll out today shows Romney would lose to Clinton in... Texas! Clinton is also more competitive than expected against other GOPers. Link.

Texas hasn't met Mitt Romney yet...

Once Romney and Hillary are debating, Texas will get to know Mitt Romney.

Exactly, I would say maybe only HALF of the population of the country knows who Mitt Romney is including Texas...

Everyone knows who Hillary Clinton is, for better or worse.

When they study him and see him debate he'll beat Clinton by 5 to 10 percentage points. He will get alot of the Women vote, look at the way he treats his wife Ann and she is involved in the campaign.

Romney will be the next President. He will bring positive change in DC

The ultra-right evangelicals are making the rest of us look like a bunch of bigots. We are electing our president not our preacher. And I don’t really buy the notion that Mormons aren’t Christian when all of their teachings are of the teachings of Jesus. What is a Christian anyways?

This country was formed for the freedom of religion.

Intolerance is of the devil.

Intolerance is what drives the terrorists we face today.

Let us not be found intolerant ourselves!

Romney's got a gold-plated resume of talent, energy, ideas, education, and executive experience across business, non-profit, and government and has been fabulously successful in all his endeavors and he's the only steady gainer in the entire field of candidates.

Name recognition is the key to Mitt, and I believe he'll get it, eventually. It's a matter of time. There is no other presidential canditate on both sides to match Mitt's whole package. He stands above them all.

Romney is now leading Hillary in most states. Not to worry. There's nobody more polarizing than Hillary. Go Mitt!
