Out of all the Presidential contenders that showed up, Mitt Romney had the biggest turnout. An Evangelical leader who was inside the meeting told me that about 150 people showed up and that he received a "tremendous reception". About 100 people showed up at the McCain event. 80 for Brownback. This person tells me though that what's interesting is that the McCain and Brownback events were at the hotel where NRB was holding their convention. The Romney event was off site, about 2 miles away and he still drew the biggest crowd.

I'm told that Romney was questioned firmly on the abortion question and his answers were not sound bite oriented. He actually gave detailed answers which were described as candid and honest. The topic of judges came up too and the war on terror. Judge Charles Pickering was there and he had questions for Romney as well.
