Romney Woos Evangelicals With Liberty University Speech 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke at Virginia's
Liberty University on Saturday in a bid to court the evangelical
Christian vote. Delivering a commencement address that focused heavily
on his campaign, Romney renewed his opposition to same-sex marriage in
the face of President Obama's public support for it last week.

Mitt Romney: "Culture — what you believe, what you value, how you
live — matters. As fundamental as these principles are, they may
become topics of democratic debate, from time-to-time. So it is today
with the enduring institution of marriage. Marriage is a relationship
between one man and one woman."
