	Mitt Romney's clumsy Mormon shtick. - By Adam Reilly - Slate Magazine
		Mitt Romney's Mormonism is his biggest political hurdle.

		Romney's hard sell is already working with the press: In a recent column on Romney's '08 prospects, Newsweek's Jonathan Alter asserted that "[M]ost just want a believer, regardless of faith"—a line that could have been penned by the governor himself.

	Romney Wins Fast-Talking Honors - News Desk (usnews.com)
		As U.S. News 's Liz Halloran reported earlier today, the heated CNN/YouTube Republican presidential debate last night proved particularly rough for Iowa caucus front-runner and former Gov. Mitt Romney, who was pushed repeatedly to clarify his stances on a number of fire-and-brimstone issues, like abortion.
		To be fair, Romney was also the fastest talker at the October 21 debate in Orlando, with an average that night of 205 wpm (nearly 30 words per minute slower).
		By our analysis, there was a clear statistical difference between Romney's rate of speaking when he was on the attack and in control of his answers, and, conversely, when he was fending off an attack himself.

	Ruth Marcus - Mitt Romney's Extreme Makeover - washingtonpost.com
		Romney was speaking to a few of us from The Post, and my colleague Dan Balz noted the similarity between Romney's expressed views on abortion rights and the stance of another Massachusetts politician, Sen. John F. Kerry: Both men said they were personally opposed to abortion but did not support making it illegal.
		From there, Romney proceeded to expound one of the odder positions I've heard in years of listening to politicians talk about a subject most would prefer to avoid: "I can tell you what my position is, and it's in a very narrowly defined sphere, as candidate for governor and as governor of Massachusetts," he said.
		Romney told the Boston Globe in 1994 that, as a registered independent, he voted in the 1992 Democratic primary for Paul Tsongas because Tsongas was from Massachusetts and he favored Tsongas's ideas over Bill Clinton's.
