Very important article at www.dailykos.com that just went up.

Romney's Mormon history, told in simple, concise, easy-to-follow terms that clarify Mormon history itself for the general, non-Mormon readership.

Incredibly good as a quick primer, for non-Mormons, on Mormonism and Mormon history.

And, in it's impact, potentially devastating so far as the p.r. efforts of the Church are concerned.

The Mormonite "nitpickers" will eat him alive... And I'm afraid I would agree with them...

>"Parlay P. Pratt"?

>"Joseph Smith died in Nauvoo at the hands of the Illinois militia"?

>"The Pratt family would become the most influential force in the Mormon faith after the death of Brigham Young."

Excuse me? The Woodruff Manifesto? No Pratt fingerprints on that one... None on the establishment of BYU as an institute of higher learning (see the evolution scandal regarding Brimhall and the Peterson brothers).

And even the claims about getting a drink in Salt Lake are way out-dated... And there are five casinos in Wendover, not three...

I looked at all the articles for 2/23, didn't see it.

Oops, okay, here it is. It was off in a sidebar:

While there are dubious details, this much is true:

>>Mitt Romney's religious affiliation isn't a tangential American religious story. It wasn't the story of someone seeking spiritual guidance, and finding it in the teachings of a church up the street. Rather Romney is a part of the lineage of the church itself, and the eventual political influence it would have in American politics.<<
