An Education on Mitt Romney

The June 6 edition of The Weekly Standard is running a detailed piece on Mitt Romney, his religion (also mine), and his presidential possibilities. It's a long article and well worth the read. I didn't know a whole lot about the man, and I was duly impressed by what I read. Given this kind of praise, and Condi's recent statements on a presidential slot, maybe RYAR will change his blog's name to RomneyRice2008.

Little tidbits I did not know:

• Harry Reid is LDS?!
• Mormons went 95/5 for Bush in 2004.
• ...88/12 in 2000.
• 1999 polling data suggested "that 17 percent of Americans wouldn't vote for a Mormon for president under any circumstances."
• Romney has taken a pro-choice approach as governor, but describes himself as pro-life.

Him sharing my faith completely aside, he sounds like an impressive candidate. Read the article.
