Mitt's Mormon Meltdown
This interview goes on for twenty minutes and the interviewer, Jan Mickelson asks Mitt Romney about his Mormon faith and Romney didn't want to talk about it. In fact, he seemed irritated by the line of questioning. USAToday has some of the highlights in case you don't have time to watch the interview.
How does he think that he can belong to an odd religion that is mysterious and cult-like and think that it isn't a topic for discussion?

You know, to an outsider (an agnostic), Mormonism seems no more cult-like and odd than...say...Catholicism. Though I'm no kind of Romney supporter--nor any conservative for that matter--I can certainly understand his pique at being drilled on it.

Then, perhaps he shouldn't run. Kennedy got drilled on Catholicism.

"Then, perhaps he shouldn't run."
Could be. I have yet to fathom why cultural conservatives in the Bible Belt haven't made common cause with Romney. He's so much more idealogical close to them than a McCain or a Giulliani.

Because, like everything, the Bible Belters are afraid of people unlike themselves. To them, the whole state of Utah is a mystery.
