Tim Lahaye, prolific evangelical author of the Left Behind book series, has endorsed Newt Gingrich, and insists that the late Jerry Falwell said before he died that “Speaker Newt Gingrich is the most qualified man in America to run as president of the United States.”

Billy Sunday, the fiery preacher from the Prohibition era, announced his support for the tee-totaling Mormon Mitt Romney, adding he hoped it would help the nation “serve the tyrant King Alcohol no longer.”
Jonathan Edwards sent out a blistering indictment of Gingrich, claiming he hoped to see him “dangling by a spider’s thread over the flaming coals of hell” before taking any elective office ever again.
