Now we're gonna talk with Mitt Romney's Achilles heel.

Which has been evangelicals he's had a problem with them but with the endorsement of Billy Graham has it made a difference and Nancy French is the founder of evangelicals for Mitt Romney and she joins me now via Skype from national welcome.

Nancy.

And me what what do you think is.

-- it making a difference that Billy Graham.

Basically endorsed.

Mitt Romney.

-- -- -- huge symbolic.

Gesture.

I really can't carry now and say what everyone -- aren't even thinking that -- right candidate for Christians to support this season is Mitt Romney.

You said we talked to a few months ago.

Yeah that was very interesting that the one group of people that Mitt Romney didn't have a problem with a pretty much saying his 2008 candidacy worked evangelicals.

But yet you were supporting and what is it about evangelicals now.

That they're going for Mitt Romney's because he's basically the only -- left.

No evangelicals love governor Romney we had a huge heart -- for him over the past few years frankly frankly we got to know him we've got some necklaces and since -- mainly to think we guidance note is that Barack Obama opposes.

Almost all the values that we hold buried -- -- for example when he came out and when Joseph Biden and forced his candidate he had to admit.

He supported gay marriage that three minute speech that he K united.

Mormons in -- Lexington certainty that evangelicals.

Like nothing that we've ever said it should have done and I'm the next three minute segment.

All at American Christian looked -- data and realized really had to -- level Barack Obama is not going to be the man who represent -- -- she's in the last.

House that does the last section.

It's we had come Steve shank on check on rather.

Who he's the co chair for Catholics for Obama which is another group that Obama has had a little problem with but he.

Said that when you look at.

The comprehensive.

List of the platform and what the comprehensive -- -- of the president stands for.

He's actually presenting a better platform for faith voters what do you say to that.

Well it it really hard pill to swallow.

Barack Obama HHS mandate.

I'm at bat and the president would force Catholic girl -- On the border at a bed and -- contraception again there -- -- logical.

Directly -- likely deeply held beliefs.

It didn't hit very hard for me angry at.

Eight yeah you -- it -- -- a Catholic an angry eight.

I get angry at Al you know marginal tax rate for anybody can guarantee you if your life.

For example of -- and how you really you really.

Cannot say that Barack Obama and represent your values and it has -- -- how can I get -- more tracks like pat cash.

I can't even think -- why I'm limiting the law that -- and that Barack Obama.

You know he's support everything he he did it look like he's not even trying to prepare and our camera like that -- support.

And tell when you've got the president out there you know talking about who works and you know get some of like speak.

Adding -- into again that they are trying to account making -- -- traditional values.

It may kind of Mitt Romney his squeaky clean and that he may.

And long -- stay at home.

I'm like I'm out and even -- our guns and aren't buying it.

You know what things though that it does seem big disingenuous to people outside because.

The one thing that Billy Graham did after he met with Mitt Romney was removed -- -- weapons to Mormon is of being a call from.

Did the ability -- battles -- association's website.

A few months ago.

Robert -- -- he basically called mormonism a cult.

And it's a lot of evangelicals have been quite vitriolic -- when it comes to bashing.

Mitt Romney's religion but now they're actually coming out in favor of him what doesn't it.

Doesn't it seem a little bit disingenuous when you've got the sort of turnaround from and they basically almost.

-- -- a demonized few months ago.

I want you to how people -- -- -- And evangelicals know that and I got -- it making that mistake and they think -- get it -- it can't protect and -- not only for politician ever mattered.

And so wet wet notre realize it -- and apparently warm and it lipped out it can take it -- like make up a lot more and more.

And Barack Obama has added.

-- -- -- -- I don't you have to -- he has been in that black liberation theology.

Either way get out of -- -- he did not prohibit Amtrak.

I didn't get the murder of unborn may be -- if I did not -- hits after that.

These -- traditional actuality it and typical sexuality.

I'm people realize that Mitt Romney -- I think ideological differences actually represent our values better than any other and it it -- actually Barack Obama.

Well it and -- at.

Is it true -- that is it going to make a difference at the polls because we're gonna be just discussing this in just a few minutes with the -- panel but one of the things that house come through though it is.

I think when you vote.

Their -- I'm either going to vote for president opening sorry they're gonna vote for.

Well yes President Obama or they're -- to stay at home or vote for Mitt Romney.

You know there's that -- -- a really really really large segment.

Some of those battleground states like all.

Well I think meanwhile -- -- -- patty -- sent -- a pilot who are evangelical.

And it Mitt Romney is going -- It is absolutely.

Invigorate.

Voter I bet Andy buckle under the Bible Belt area I'm your -- -- -- they.

In contention here are excited here I'm -- you're very hard bank they cannot get enough that Mitt Romney.

-- -- -- I think a guy can know in hand they've heard all -- -- -- story about what a good neighbor here would get opera yet when -- get leader yet.

And not only -- -- that I can Eli ethically acceptable.

Guy who really immediately hack hack that enthusiasm.

For this candidate and I believe that they would walk over glass.

Yeah happy credit -- to about her to ever make a blanket.

It was very interesting is quite a turnaround from 2008 and got Nancy friends -- thank you so much you founder of evangelicals for Mitt.

Thank you so much and -- the what you predictions and a -- on -- on Tuesday thank you so much.
