I do think it's time for purely theological discussion on the religion of only one candidate (and who is pretty spotlessly secular in public policy) to be put in the Backroom. If Romney was some kind of super-Mormon, then I would say it does belong out front. It would be a shame to wait until it's become truly destructive to the forum. I agree completely with this portion of your post. If it was kept to politics, life would be better for all!

It comes down to who is our best reliable conservative candidate. And we should look for men (or women) of strong personal character and personal stability, those who can best represent our full conservative agenda and have the qualities, the organization to appeal to a majority, even better, a mandate-sized majority. Romney can probably qualify. So can Fred Thompson perhaps. The base could even support McStain, I think. But I see no reason to be distracted over religion in an essentially secular candidate when the goal is to stop blatant liberals and leftwingers (either Dim or GOP) from reaching the White House in '08.
