The Salt Lake Tribune’s Peggy Fletcher Stack (writing at Beliefnet.com) attempts to line up Mitt’s positions with those of the LDS Church on a point by point basis.  As the Church has a doctrine of political neutrality and makes few official declarations on specific issues, Stack’s efforts don’t bear much fruit.

Christianpost.com features an article by Martin Marty.  He writes an excellent piece on Mitt and the Mormon question.

Howlin’ Mad Howie’s designated Mitt Hit Man Damien LaVera loves to see his name in print.  The originator of the “Smooth Talking Mitt” label, LaVera hasn’t learned that anybody from the DNC calling another person “Smooth Talking” or “Flip Flopping” does so from a tremendous disadvantage.  Memo to Damien:  Any press release where you have to quote yourself is the definition of lame.

The word is out in the Blogosphere that Mitt is having a bad week.  I’m sure if you read the pickle juice drinking, left leaning sources so abundant in today’s media, you might agree with them.  Dean Barnett, however, has a different take on the events of this week.  His column gets today’s “Read The Whole Thing” Prize.  Congrats, Dean.

PoliticalDerby.com’s Jason Wright got star struck whilst interviewing Gary Marx, Conservative Coalitions Director for the Mitt Campaign.  Yo, Jason, I like your site, too, but how easily are you dazzled? J

Powerline’s Paul Mirengoff chronicles the MSM shots which have been leveled at Mitt as of late.  I think I’ve already referenced them all, but you never know.

Happy Birthday, George!
