NewAs a white evangelical Iowa

Fri, 12/16/11
As a white evangelical Iowa caucus goer, I can say that I am torn. One thing I can say is that I will NOT be voting for Newt Gingrich. Nor Ron Paul. Nor Jon Huntsman. In case anyone wanted to know, here is where I stand right now (of course I can only vote for one!).

1. Rick Santorum
2. Michelle Bachmann
3. Rick Perry
4. Mitt Romney (holding my nose)

Hey Greg,

What is the significance of “white evangelical”? What difference if your mind does “whiteness” mean?

Thanks

I was just echoing the title of the headline. Didn’t you guys see that?

Sorry I missed that. I was not trying to imply you are a racist (I’m sure you know that).

I’m “white” too!
