Mitt can’t pull a JFK

The Phoenix: Mitt can’t pull a JFK:
"Several Mormons who spoke with the Phoenix predicted that, in the event of your presidency, Hinckley would probably take great pains not to give you advice or ask for favors. They may be right; after all, if you’re the first Mormon to hold the nation’s highest office, the acutely image-conscious LDS Church won’t want to do anything to taint that achievement.

Could Romney's Christianity Really Keep Him from Presidency?

Human Events Online: Could Romney's Christianity Really Keep Him from Presidency? by Ivy J. Sellers:
"I'm not advocating Romney for president at this point and time but I do think the reporter makes a very compelling point -- and that is, Mormons are about as Christian as they come. And if Christian belief is what keeps a good man from the presidency, then America's claim to be 'one nation under God' has become no more than some ink printed on its currency."

Did George Bush Sr. and Romney Buy Dunkin' Donuts? (Opinion)

Did George Bush Sr. and Romney Buy Dunkin' Donuts?:
"According to a recent article in the Boston Herald, Romney is seen as the dark horse in a field of current candidates. Again, the article cited name recognition as being his only challenge.

Being Mormon: Why Romney's Mormonism Makes Him the Best Candidate for the GOP (Opinion)

Being Mormon: Why Romney's Mormonism Makes Him the Best Candidate for the GOP:
"Are Novak and his sources implying that the most morally conservative voters in the United States would rather endorse a left-wing, abortion-endorsing, socialist-leaning, gay agenda-adopting, Bill Clinton-marrying, liberal than a God-fearing, card-carrying conservative Mormon, who has had remarkable success in business and in politics, and who has shown he is able to win a liberal state like Massachusetts? Either something is very wrong with Novak or something is very wrong with the Evangelicals he is interviewing."
