His rate of ideas per minute is much higher than most other conservative talk radio hosts. So I am nonplussed at his negative views about Romney. He has defended Mormons any number of times on his show, always very knowledgeably. His reviews of movies made by Mormons have been very positive. Romney is, in my view, the most thinking oriented of the Republican primary candidates (he actually fits a particular square ikn the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory), and therefore the most similar to Medved in terms of personality. So I can't figure out why Medved has avoided endorsing him and instead embraced Huckabee, whose intellectual attainments are in the hasn't-got-a-clue area (e.g. his notion that calling an event an "act of God" in legislation--simply meaning no human being had personal liability for unusual weather and similar national events--is a slur on Deity). I really mean this. I think Romney is the one recent candidate who could carry on an intellectual conversation with Medved about something like political history. If my brother were acting like this, I would wonder if he had a brain tumor causing him to do irrational things. I am basically a Medved fan.
