Mitt Romney plans to make a major speech dealing with his Mormon faith--polls show his situation is dicey: "Not surprisingly, the survey documented that there is greater bias among voters toward a candidate who is a Mormon than there is to a candidate who is African American or female. "We clearly see that people are more reluctant to vote for Mormons than they are blacks or women," Geer said Tuesday morning in a telephone call."
Former Bush administration official Peter Wehner has an idea of what Romney will seek to do:
"I don't think he wants to focus his argument on either separation of church and state or demystifying the Mormon faith," Wehner wrote in a message Tuesday morning. "I'd be shocked if he gets into Mormon doctrine at all. Rather, he wants to argue that his fundamental values are the same as most Republicans and most Americans, and that should be the acid test."
Which, from a properly-understood conservative point of view, sounds like the kind of thing that might help Romney.
