In the Washington Post, former Bush speechwriter (and now Washington Post columnist) Michael Gerson makes an argument as to how Mitt Romney should deal with his Mormonism in the presidential campaign:
Romney, however, should not make Kennedy's mistake and assert that all religious beliefs are unrelated to politics. What Mormonism shares with other religious traditions is a strong commitment to the value and dignity of human beings, including the unborn, the disabled and the poor. This conviction is unavoidably political, because it leads men and women to act in the cause of justice, not in order to impose their religion, but to protect the weak.
National Review-ites, needless to say, are thrilled.
