No, I just thought it was an interesting benchmark. If Romney is the nominee he will be mercilessly hammered for being a 'weirdo' on his faith by the diversity-loving Democrats. This is the firt open shot that I've seen.
A month or so ago, Joe Biden gave a speech at some university in PA (I don't remember which), but I guess some question about religion came up in the Q&A. Biden brought in that it was shameful that some people wouldn't vote for Romney because of his religion.
I just heard that little bite on a local (Boston) radio station during the hourly news break -- I guess they chose that one because of the MA connection.
It made me figure that the Dems would play the Mormon card -- not that Obama would do it himself, but I could see the lapdog networks all bringing out "documentaries" (read: "hit pieces") on Mormonism if Romney is the nominee -- all "in the public interest," of course.
I figure something like that is in the works and Biden made his remarks because he knows about it and never can quite keep his mouth shut. ;-)
Well, the "kickoff" for this cycle re: Romney -- by the MSM -- was Maureen Dowd's Oct. 18, 2011 piece on Romney...
Actually, that was probably #2...The Broadway production, The Book of Mormon, was the first cultural launch vs. Mormonism in '11.
