http://lgbtweekly.com/2012/04/11/with-santorum-suspending-campaign-some-religious-conservatives-wonder-how-to-proceed/BY DAN GILGOFF, CNN.COM RELIGION EDITOR
(CNN San Diego LGBT Weekly) Evangelical activist Michael Farris was not exactly surprised that Rick Santorum suspended his campaign on Tuesday. But that doesnt mean that Farris, a longtime political organizer, knows what hes supposed to do now.
Right now my choice is to sit on my hands and do nothing or to actively try to find some alternative to Mitt Romney, Farris said in an interview shortly after Santorums announcement.
Some of us just have a hard time supporting a person who said he was going to be more liberal on gay rights than Ted Kennedy, said Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, referring to remarks Romney made in a 1994 letter.
Farris reaction is a stark emblem of the disappointment among religious conservatives over Santorums announcement, and a reminder that Romneys enthusiasm deficit among the conservative evangelicals who form the GOPs base hasnt gone away.

And nominate Mooselini. Just think of the entertainment value. Open carry on the convention floor... allowable by Florida law. Hot damn, a shootout at the RNC Corral would be great live TV!
