Pastor-in-Chief?


Ok, Romney's slow downward spiral in the polls due in part to his religious beliefs may be old news to most of you but mind if I ask if we are electing a President or a Pastor-in-Chief? Personally, I don't understand Mormonism but the faith hasn't prevented the man from excelling at everything he has done (business, overseeing the Olympics, the state of Massachusetts, etc.).
I understand that many conservatives object to Romney's so-called primary eve conversion to the pro-life position but, as many commentators have noted, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and even Ronald Reagan experienced similar conversions and proved faithful stewards.
I wouldn't mind a Huckabee or even a Thompson presidency but, at least on paper, you have to admit that Romney is impressive and many evangelicals have taken note. For example, check out the following link: http://www.evangelicalsformitt.org/
