Mitt Romney Is No Space Alien

From an article of the same title:

Mitt Romney isn’t a flesh-eating space alien, programmed for the domination of America by Mormon masters in Salt Lake. Nor is Mitt a closet polygamist with multiple wives stowed away in the back country of Massachusetts.

But Romney, past governor of Massachusetts and prime presidential contender, is indeed Mormon, and that little fact has an otherwise easy GOP coronation teetering and tottering as Romney dances past the gauntlet of Republican conservative evangelical types.

A man’s substantial achievements may matter little in the face of public disapproval of his faith - especially so in the more backwater parts of our country. Millions of Southern conservative Christians are all worked up in a huff over Romney’s faith.

Hat tip: Briant.
