A little history.

This is what could make Romney’s Mormon faith an issue.  Bottom line is this, we cannot afford to split up the GOP on religious lines, particularly when the religions agree on the issues!  Speaking of which, here’s another way that religion in general might become an issue.  As a Christian trained in science (chemistry) all I can say is Puh-leeze!

In case you haven’t heard, there is a dog on the ballot for Governor in Alaska – That calls for a humor break.

New faith-based poli-blog RedBlueChristian continues to turn out some good stuff.  Here they link great roundtable discussion amongst some biggies.  Meanwhile, this post gives us a clue as to why Romney’s faith may not be that big a deal.  All depends on who the “religious right” really is.

Hey! We’re interviewing this guy this week.

Remember that poll?  The media-busting guys at Powerline (remember Memogate?) have figured it out.  They filled in the blanks kinda like I thought they’d be filled in.

On separation of church and politics.  Worth thinking about – if we Evangelicals discriminate against a candidate solely on the basis of his faith – how can we hope to reach people of that faith?  Why does it seem like the Mormons have figured that out and we haven’t?

A right-thinking Evangelical – A Baptist no less.
