Bob Novak on Evangelical Anti-Mormonism

And how it could torpedo a Romney candidacy.

From the Kansas City Star . . . Novak quoted (emphasis mine) as saying:

“Prominent, respectable Evangelical Christians have told me, not for quotation, that millions of their co-religionists cannot and will not vote for Romney for president solely because he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If Romney is nominated and their abstention results” in a President Hillary Clinton, “that’s just too bad.”

Why Mormonism would benefit from a Romney nomination . . .

It would expose a lot of the deep, bigoted, un-American, anti-mormonism that there exists amongst many evangelicals.

See the Slate story I linked in the “anti-mormonism” word above . . .

It’s the gas prices, stupid.

Must be ironic to President Bush, the former oil man, that his fate appears to still be tied to the bubbling crude.

The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud

I finished the book. Everything I hoped it would be.

Ben Sherwood’s The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is just magical. Ten out of ten stars.

The only way I can really describe it is to say that it’s like:

Field of Dreams
The Sixth Sense
Ghost
Signs
What Dreams May Come
and Sunset Boulevard

all rolled into one . . .

And then made better. I fell in love with Tess, Charlie, and Sam. And it made me believe in miracles, again.
