Romney’s Mormon Story
posted on August 13, 2012The New York Times’ Ross Douthat notes the absence of references to Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith as part of his campaign’s effort to introduce the GOP presidential candidate to America. “If Romney were a Presbyterian, Methodist or Jew, this would be an obvious part of his campaign narrative,” writes Douthat. “Like George W. Bush’s midlife conversion or Barack Obama’s tale of ‘race and inheritance,’ Romney’s years as a bishop would be woven into a biography that emphasized his piety and decency.”
