“…Romney’s religion, and how he characterizes and explains it, has now become the central issue of his campaign. It may even be the issue that ends his candidacy — and some of that is no one’s fault but Mitt Romney’s. In transforming himself from a moderate, pro-choice Republican into an avid pro-life conservative, and in pandering to the party’s white Southern evangelical base — essentially presenting himself as a Christian fellow traveler with a few eccentric updates — Romney himself helped make an evangelical vetting of his faith inevitable.” (Salon)
