The Hotline’s Conn Carroll has a rundown of Mitt on the blogs of late.  Some good, some bad, some just plain foolish.  You be the judge.
 
RCP’s Jay Cost takes his best shot at the “Mormon Issue”.  He thinks Mitt took the wrong tack when he made a point of posing a hypothetical question to a hypothetical Senator (Jack) Kennedy about his Catholic beliefs during an interview with Mark Davis.  Bear in mind, Mark Davis had just asked him a question about Mormonism that had nothing to do what-so-ever with politics.  Said Mitt: 

‘Senator Kennedy, do you really believe that that wafer turns into the body of Christ, do you really believe that? Has there been chemical analysis in the stomachs of people after they’ve taken communion?’ These are not questions you ask someone who’s running for President. 

To which Cost blasts: 

Oh no. No, Governor Romney. No! No! No! A thousand times no! 

This is absolutely the wrong way to respond to questions about seemingly unbelievable beliefs.  

Mmo to Jay Cost:  Welcome to our world.  This is exactly the kind of question posed to Mitt by “unbiased” journalists on a daily basis.  You might consider his hypothetical question to be absurd.  I won’t argue with you.  It is an absurd question that has nothing to do with a presidential election.  Mitt was illustrating absurdity by being absurd.  It is a great way to show an interviewer just how stupid their question is.  Why, Mr. Cost, is it acceptable to insult millions of Mormons and not millions of Catholics?  The only acceptable answer to that question is “because there are millions more Catholics than there are Mormons” and that is the textbook definition of religious bigotry.  The only person looking like an intolerant fool here is yourself – and quite possibly Mssrs. Mickleson and Davis.  Congratulations.  Here’s your sign.  End Memo.
 
CBN’s David Brody chimes in on the recent abortion kerfluffle.  Dave, where have you been?
 
The Deseret Morning News’ Lisa Roche reports on Mitt’s small donations from Utah.  Money is money.
 
The Boston Globe Editorial Board doesn’t like Mitt, much less his healthcare plan.  No surprise there.
 
The AP’s Brendan Riley has a stunning revelation.  Mitt won’t attend a screening for September Dawn.  Wow.  There’s a surprise.  This film isn’t a film about Mormon history – it’s a work of fiction and little more.  Its release has been delayed so many times its almost as old as the events it purports to portray.  The producers know if they wait till Labor Day weekend to release it, it’ll be swallowed up by films people actually want to see.  Even the Mojo doesn’t look good.  My guess – it’ll be out of the 850 theaters within a week.  Maybe two.
 
The Article VI Boys have some good analysis of the latest poll numbers.
 
ETalkingHead’s Terry Mitchell pens an interesting post on Mitt’s “Carter” strategy.  All similarities between Mitt and Carter end at the door to the Oval.
 

Oh, and guys? This is what being implicitly ignored looks like .
