Ross Douthat: Romney's Mormon Story
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/opinion/sunday/douthat-romneys-mormon-story.html
THERE'S an interesting dilemma facing the filmmakers who are
presumably hard at work, in some well-hidden editing room, on the
biographical movie that will play just before Mitt Romney accepts
his party's nomination: What should the movie say about Romney's
Mormonism?
So far, Romney has said very little about his faith in this
campaign, which is clearly how he likes it. Indeed, his campaign has
pushed back vigorously against even innocuous press coverage of
Mormon folkways and beliefs, on the theory that trying to explain a
much-distrusted, much-misunderstood religion could only distract
from the economic message.
