Editorial from the Christian Science Monitor claims that "a large bias against a Mormon for president is the next barrier to fall in U.S. politics." The editorial concludes: "The ability to reconcile conflicting religious values under a system of guaranteed rights, elections, and governmental checks-and-balances is what gives strength to the US and provides the freedom for faith to flourish . . . With women and blacks now more easily accepted as leaders, it's critical for voters to look beyond religious affiliation in judging presidential candidates. Romney was respected as a governor and businessman. His ability to be US president can be questioned, but not his right to be one."
