NBC Nightly News on Romney's Candidacy

Reasoned Audacity gave the heads up that the FRC's Charmaine Yoest was invited to appear on NBC Nightly News to discuss Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's run for the presidency. The program played out something like this:

Romney has real challenges. He says he's the true social conservative in the race, opposed to abortion and gay marriage. But here was Romney in 1994:

Mitt Romney: I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country

And on gay rights

Mitt Romney: I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the boy scouts regardless of their sexual orientation

Romney responded on his website:

Mitt Romney: ... Of course I was wrong on some issues back at then. I'm not embarrassed to admit that.

But will that be enough for Christian conservatives key to winning the republican nomination?

Charmaine Yoest: We're still looking at what he's saying and we're still paying very very close attention to the match up between actions and words.
