Looks like it will be Romney on the Republican Ticket. Once that is cemented, just watch the liberal press ramp up the coverage of his religion.

The idiocy of the press is never more clearer, to me, than in the endorsement of political candidates. For all the misguided who actually believe the press is honest, do any of you really expect to get honest reporting once this is done?

Haven't the GOP candidates already started that?

Saying the "bad bad left" will do something (none have yet, Biden actually defended his faith) while ignoring the people on the right who have already done it a number of times, is a pretty biased position to champion. A position like that makes some one look like a partisan loony.

To be honest with you religious smear campaigns are the speciality of the right wing, not the left.

I prefer the "liberal press" ramp up coverage on all his flip-flops...and his poor record as governor, in which he left office after just one term with a 34% approval rating and #47 in job creation.

From being pro-choice, anti-Reagan, pro-gun control, pro-ObamaCare, pro-Obama stimulus, and now all of a sudden he's pro-life, pro-Reagan, pro-2nd amendment, anti-RomneyCare, anti-stimulis, has there been any position where he hasn't flip-flopped on?

All one had to do is read up about Mormonism to see how strange it is.

Then again, I suppose it's pretty easy to argue that a religion based on a man who rose from the dead and walked on water is pretty strange also.
