Looking past his religious differences with Gov. Mitt Romney, Dr. Bob Jones, chancellor of the fundamentalist Christian university, has announced that he will endorse the Mormon for the Republican nomination. Jones was quoted in USA Today as saying, “This is all about beating Hillary”, and “As a Christian I am completely opposed to the doctrines of Mormonism, but I’m not voting for a preacher. I’m voting for a president. It boils down to who can best represent conservative American beliefs, not religious beliefs.”

Although I believe the Christian Right has irreparably damaged (and will continue to damage) the Republican Party, it’s refreshing to see, at least to some degree, some level headed thinking from an Evangelical leader.
