Hotline quotes Romney from his O'Reilly appearance 9/19.  The Weekly Standard takes another brief look at that appearance.

Proof Mormons come in all political stripes.

Andrew Sullivan is so angry at people of faith that he makes no sense.  In two sentences he declares Romney the favorite presumed candidate of people of faith and yet says his stance on interrogations is motiviated by a need to attract Christian voters.  Huh?

According to Howard Fineman all Republican potential candidates are defined by not being McCain.  That makes little sense to me.  This Republican likes to vote for somebody, not against somebody else and I think most Republicans are the same way.

Faith cannot be defined in the political arena and stuff like this will not help faith and it will make politics very ugly.  Lowell:  Agreed.  The prospect of candidates right and left trying to "out-religion" each other is unappealing, to say the least.  Both politics and faith suffer when that happens.
