The Family Leader hace la primera criba: descarta a Romney, Cain y Paul

Des Moines Register:

The conservative Iowa group the Family Leader has announced it has narrowed its endorsement to four possible candidates:

• Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich
• U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota
• Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsyvania
• Texas Gov. Rick Perry

(...) Here are some of the problems with candidates that won’t get the nomination that the group outlined:

RON PAUL (A U.S. representative from Texas): Each individual of the seven member voting Board of Directors expressed many positives of Ron Paul. The stumbling block for the board regarding Paul dealt primarily with “States’ Rights” as it pertains to the sanctity of human life and God’s design for marriage.

HERMAN CAIN (A former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza): Regarding Mr. Cain, the board cited a narrative of questions versus clarity on the key issues of life, marriage, foreign policy and presidential readiness.

MITT ROMNEY: (Former governor of Massachusetts who declined to attend Saturday’s forum): The board did not give consideration to Governor Romney.
