Fred Thompson's SC Co-Chair comes out with some doozies on The Speech and Mormonism. One hardly knows what to say-- Is she representative of evangelical thinking? Is The Speech going to remotely help with people who think as she does? By contrast this is one of the more thoughtful and thought provoking pieces on the subject.

UPDATE: Apparently the Thompson folks don't much mind her remarks. I think I liked it better when I was under the illusion that religious tolerance was the norm in America. Responding to Mosteller's remarks Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said: "Sadly, bigotry is still alive and well, but thankfully it's only practiced by an ignorant few. The vast majority of Americans don't elect a president based on what church they go to, but they do care about their values. Mitt Romney's values are as American as you will find." Perhaps a preview of comments tomorrow.
