A Mormon in the White House

Mitt Romney today announced his presidential campaign.

An interesting stat here from USA Today: "In a diverse 2008 presidential field that includes a woman and an African-American on the Democratic side, polls show being Mormon is a handicap. In a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, 72% say they would vote for a qualified nominee who is Mormon. That compares with 94% for a black nominee and 88% for a female nominee."

They go on to look at the beliefs of Mormonism and how it might impact Romney's campaign. Meanwhile, I'm sure more than a few evangelicals will be interested in hearing Hugh Hewitt set forth his case in the upcoming book, A Mormon in the White House?: 10 Things Every American Should Know about Mitt Romney, due out next month.
