Mitt Romney Probably Won't Kill John McCain
Yesterday, Politico reported the "hot buzz" that Romney is at the top of McCain's vice presidential short list. It could be a transcription error. "Short list" and "sh*t list" sound a lot alike.

Many in the media noted Barack Obama's speech yesterday morning was reminiscent when Mitt Romney tried to address concerns about his Mormon faith. But is that comparison actually warranted?

Romney's problem was not that he was a Mormon, but that he was a Mormon sitting on top of a weather vane changing his positions every time the wind blew in a different direction.

We have to turn to Sigmund Freud to really understand Mitt Romney's downfall.

Of course Mitt wanted to get shot down over Hanoi and locked in a box for five years but his better angels told him to go to Cannes and spread the Word of the Lord.

Maybe it's Christians' and Jews' grounding in the Old and New Testament that enables us to easily size up the preposterous nature of the customs that guys like Cruise and Romney follow.

To the extent that the message of religious tolerance has been heard is to our nation's credit. Obama's task, however, has always been different.

Bill Clinton may have redefined, and made people think twice before using, the word "is", but Romney has provided a veritable latter day dictionary.

Romney has the power to reverse- insinuate. Sometimes when he directly says something, it turns out he's really just hinting. He can unsay things by saying them. Don't ask me how that's possible.

The Obama Candidacy is about more than just an end to the war abroad. It is about an end to the war in America -- a cultural and religious war that eats at our nation's soul.

If the Democrats want to be a majority party, they should reject religious bigotry.

The Republican party has a problem. The conservatives' ideal candidate cannot win a general election in today's America.

Romney is no Jack Kennedy. He peddles fear in the guise of reason, pretending to take refuge in the Constitution as he goes about subverting it. His pandering speech was but the bookend of an era.

Most candidates want to be seen as religious but readily play the religious privacy card when asked what that means to them. The problem, therefore, isn't Mormonism; it's hypocrisy.
Daniel Radosh | Posted 12.14.2007 | Politics
Huckabee is trying to ease away from his remark about Mormonism. He's clearly gambling that people won't start asking the obvious return question.

After the Today Show used video clips of me talking (ranting, to some) about the racist history of the Mormons as a lead-in to Matt Lauer's interview of Mitt Romney, I feel compelled to clarify the obvious.
