‘Mormon Moment’ Ends with a Loss, but His Religion Still Won
Peggy Fletcher Sack of The Salt Lake Tribune considers the importance of Romney’s candidacy for Mormonism. Despite his loss, the majority of Mormons believe that the publicity towards the religion was overall positive, managing to change public perception. Stuart Reid, a Mormon and a Republican state senator, said, “He’s done more than any single person in recent church history to share with the general public what a Mormon is, putting up a very positive image about Mormons and creating interest in our faith that was unprecedented.”
