CALL ME SNAKE

It’s not surprising that a man like Mitt Romney, who has made no secret of his ambitions for the White House, would want to consult with the nation’s experts in preparation for an all but inevitable presidential run. We see that he was able to master complex issues regarding bolts and epoxy. So who is he talking to now? And what are other great issues of the day would he like to be brought up to speed on and focus his keen powers of intellect on? Romney’s top priority for now–don’t worry, I wasn’t about to say governing the state of Massachusetts–seems to be reconciling his Mormon faith with the religious and political leanings of evangelical Christians. Most of us (normal folks, I’m tempted to say) didn’t realize that extreme Christian right views of Mormonism was the number one issue in America today, surpassing the war in Iraq, the mounting national debt, and other concerns. But it is.
