Romney to Give Commencement Address at Evangelical University
By SARAH WHEATON April 19, 2012, 1:24 pm
Mitt Romney will deliver the commencement address at Liberty University, the evangelical institution founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Va.
Mr. Romney’s campaign said the university invited him to speak to the approximately 48,000 people expected to attend the graduation ceremony on May 12.
Virginia is a swing state, but for Mr. Romney, this invitation offers a chance to shore up one of his weaknesses within his base, as many evangelicals remain wary of his Mormon faith.
Jerry Falwell Jr., the university’s chancellor, said in a statement [ http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=18495&MID=53438 ] that “we are delighted” that Mr. Romney would be speaking, and he compared the visit to those of Ronald Reagan in 1980 and the elder George Bush in 1990. However, the decision has already sparked controversy among students and alumni of Liberty University, with nearly 300 people commenting on the institution’s Facebook announcement [ http://www.facebook.com/LibertyUniversity/posts/340898819306825 ] within two hours of its posting.
“I am so disappointed in my university for their choice in commencement speaker Romney. You have lost a potential grad student,” wrote Paige Farmer. “It is shameful that you would allow him a stage for political gain. What could a Mormon possibly have to share with Christians?”
Others, like Josh Phares, who is graduating this year, took a different view: “All of us can learn something from this man, regardless of his faith. In life you are going to be surrounded by different people from different backgrounds and religions. Learn to embrace it!”
However, this year Mr. Romney is still struggling among this group. In the latest New York Times/CBS News poll [ http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/us/politics/new-york-times-cbs-news-poll-shows-doubts-on-economy-helping-romney.html ], 72 percent of white evangelicals said they would support Mr. Romney over President Obama — a figure close to the 74 percent who backed Senator John McCain in 2008. However, just 27 percent of white evangelical Republican voters said they would enthusiastically support Mr. Romney as the nominee, compared with 42 percent of other Republican primary voters who said they would.
Instead, 50 percent of white evangelical Republican voters said they would support him with reservations (compared with about a third of other Republican voters), and 17 percent said they would support him only because he was the party’s nominee.
