Description:
According to author
and radio personality Hewitt, Mitt Romney-billionaire venture
capitalist, consummate family man, gifted and media-savvy
politician-would be unstoppable in the coming presidential race were it
not for one niggling line on his resumé: he's a Mormon. In this
unashamedly partisan volume, Hewitt attempts to refute the claim that no
Mormon could get elected President (along with any other claim that
might be made against Romney) while analyzing the former Massachusetts
governor's biography and burnishing his conservative and leadership
credentials. Hewitt is an agreeable, if inelegant, writer, wise enough
to take detours (such as an edifying primer on Mormon history and
thought) that stave off tedium. He spends far more time extolling Romney
than excoriating his Republican and Democratic opponents. This is an
efficient and effective exercise in political hagiography.
