Rising anxiety on the right over Romney's momentum was reflected at a prayer breakfast Sunday in Myrtle Beach, attended by candidates Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
One of the speakers, Eric Metaxas, said he hoped candidates he did not specify "will hear from God and get out of the race."
Metaxas, a conservative writer who backs Santorum, confirmed in an interview that he was talking about Perry and Newt Gingrich, both of whom were spurned in favor of Santorum during the weekend in an endorsement by a group of influential religious broadcasters and commentators. Metaxas described South Carolina as "the last exit before the bridge" for conservatives trying to stop Romney.
Gingrich, who is running second to Romney in polls here, told voters at a rally Sunday afternoon in Georgetown, S.C., that "if we split our vote three or four ways, we could end up with a moderate who I believe will have a very hard time defeating Obama."

Eric Metaxas has been coopted by the Tea Party reports from South Carolina would suggest.
Will be interesting to see how the conversation between George and Charles Marsh after Marsh's biography of Bonhoeffer is published.

Timothy George used ot contribute regularly to the Baptist Peacemaker back in the 80s. I don't suppose you know what happened, do you Bruce? I e-mailed him awhile ago asking for an explanation and never got one.
