David Weigel offers an
interesting take on Romney's speech that I might not entirely
agree with but is well worth reading and considering. In part:
Romney is asking voters to retain their prejudices about
faith, especially the personal faith of politicians: To demand that
the people they elect have a relationship with God that they
approve of. Is Romney's slow-motion three card monte going to
convince religious voters that they can trust him over Huckabee? I
don't think so. I know some of those people. They're not
stupid.
