A Mormon in the White House?

A MORMON IN THE WHITE HOUSE?: 10 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MITT ROMNEY: Hugh Hewitt: Regnery Pub., c2007: Biography: 311p.

Well, how anti-climactic. But, had Mitt Romney been fortunate enough to stay in the 2008 Presidential race, this might have been the book to read. However, Romney could appear in some political arena in the future and thus warrant the reading.

The book is an interesting, inside look at a ‘what might have been.’ Written by a pro-Romney, non-Mormon, conservative author, the book highlights the best of Mitt Romney while countering opposition attacks with a “this is what actually happened and what the press might not get around to saying” approach. Perhaps biased by his belief in Romney, Hugh Hewitt can be considered a non-biased opinion on religious matters.

Useful knowledge for Mormons and non-Mormons alike. Members of Romney’s faith will benefit from a disclosure of the former governor’s personal, professional, and political career—enabling them to evaluate the man. Those outside Romney’s faith will have an opportunity to assess the man and learn a few basic tenets of his beliefs—in order to see how his religion does/does not influence his political aptitude.
