If McCain picks Mitt for VP "there could very well be enough social conservatives staying at home to allow a Barack Obama victory in the fall." Fred No Mitt for Vice President WASHINGTON, April 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- More than 20 leading social conservatives signed an open letter to Senator John McCain expressing their displeasure over the prospect of an "M&M" ticket being pushed by Karl Rove, Sean Hannity and others in the economic wing of the Republican Party.

It is not the purpose of this Newsletter to say why. This would be hard to explain, because the very history of this private revelation of interior manifestations lacks the obvious exterior display of attention that is drawn to most visionaries of historical apparitions. But I like the message of the Indwelling of the Holy Trinity to take abode in the families; in the very depths of our souls.
