Hey, South Carolina Voters

As the nation’s attention turns to the Palmetto State for this Saturday’s primary, I’d like to call your attention to a series that Register correspondent Charlotte Hays has done.

The Register wanted to give Catholic voters as best a picture as possible of all the candidates vying for president in 2012 so that they could make informed choices when they go into the voting booth.

We’ve tried to focus on the candidates’ stands and, where applicable, voting records on life issues (abortion, embryonic stem-cell research), marriage issues (same-sex “marriage”) and economic issues — the latter because we believe it’s important to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us and support policies that give families the ability to rear children without the heavy tax burdens requiring both spouses to work outside the home.

We’ve had profiles, first online and then in the print edition, of all the major Republican candidates.

With Rick Perry bowing out of the race today, the field is down to four. You can read about them here:

Newt Gingrich

Ron Paul

Mitt Romney

Rick Santorum

The series has also included these candidates, who have since suspended their campaigns:

Michele Bachmann

Herman Cain

Tim Pawlenty

Jon Huntsman

Let us know what you think.

My question for Newt is: does Callista still approve of the “open marriage” for others seeing that she was Newt’s mistress for six years while he was operating under the “open marriage” rule?

Hey, Newt and Callista repented, right? It’s all good now.
