Can we also pause to salute the voters of Massachusetts for defying religious prejudice? In that state, a candidate named O?Brien attacked her opponent for belonging to a sinister, alien church -- this time, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Religious fear is an ancient theme in New England politics, but it stopped working sometime around 1940, and it?s good to see that the theme is as dead as ever. Charming, competent Mitt Romney won handily, despite (or maybe because of) a shrill attack on him by Hillary Clinton herself.
Sweet.
