The exit-poll data that should have the Romney campaign worrying the most aren’t the numbers showing evangelical opposition to him. It’s a worry, sure, but if he is the nominee a lot of evangelicals are going to find that he looks better in comparison to Obama than he looks in comparison to Santorum or Gingrich.
