Mitt Romney's great trek

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."
