"As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation," Sharpton said Monday during a debate with Hitchens at the New York Public
Library's Beaux-Arts headquarters.
One knows Al Sharpton is saying something outlandish or outrageous when his lips are moving, so there is not much need for comment here. I would point out that once again, the attack against Mitt Romney’s faith comes from the left – not the right.
My point about Democrats and God, while mostly in jest is not far from the mark. The truth is the Republican primaries will be the challenge for the Mormon candidate, not the general election. Democrat’s just don’t have the religious credibility to mount an effective Jihad against a Mormon or any other candidate’s religion.
If the Reverend Sharpton wishes to marshal such a jihad of believers, he is going to have to rely on Republicans not Democrats. So far such Republicans would probably have more concern over the faith of Al Sharpton then the faith of Mitt Romney.
