Can I Have Some of That National Review Kool-Aid?
One has to admire Katherine Jean Lopez over at National Review for her candid and staunch defence of Mitt Romney as a viable GOP presidential candidate. Just get over the fact that he's a Mormon, she says, and try to ignore that he's from Massachusetts, and he'd easily be in the top three after the caucuses. And who are the top two, K-Lo? Barney Frank and Michael Jackson? I thought so.
Not that the general intellectual discourse over at the NRO is anything to admire. Jonah Goldberg barely lifts his stumpy fingers out of his bag of chocolate chip cookies to write about the latest Star Trek Fan Club news between panicky and delusional posts about how Howard Dean and George Soros run the Democratic Party. The whiplash from the Harriet Miers debacle is probably the most exercise he has ever seen.

So you would never vote for a Mormon? Would you never vote for a Jew?
Also, you would never vote for someone from Mass? Would you never vote for someone from Mexico?
Why don't we talk about issues and ideas? Why amuze yourself with idiocy like what religion or state he comes from...

Wow, why don't you try reading the post? Mitt Romney is not unelectable because he's Mormon, or from Massachusetts. He is unelectable because he has to, somewhere along the line, win a nomination from the Republican Party as a candidate who is both Mormon and a governor of Massachusetts. While it's not impossible, it is very much an exercise in fantastical, and not very intelligent, thinking.
