Great opinion piece about Mitt's woes.
It does Romney limited good to play the martyred conservative forced to govern in ungodly Massachusetts. Running against the people who put you in office is not a pretty thing. Besides, how strong are his convictions if he'd sacrifice them for political office?Read the entire essay, it's quite good.
Romney's positioning is further complicated by his membership in the Mormon church, which many Christian conservatives consider a cult. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 51 percent of evangelicals said they would never vote for a Mormon. The sort of people who don't care whether a candidate is Mormon are the sort of people who live in Massachusetts.
