Wouldn't you rather your elected officials take an oath on a book in which they believed?
I mean, it totally helped Duke Cunningham to swear on the bible, with that eighth commandment and all.

Posted by: baltar at December 1, 2006 09:20 AM | PERMALINKYou think the government has any copies left? They seem to have misplaced them all.
Posted by: jacflash at December 1, 2006 09:32 AM | PERMALINKI dunno. The Republicans running the Executive, and Republicans (formerly) running the Legislature sure have lost them, though I wonder if a few at the state level might have a few around.
Hey, is Romney really going to make a run for Prez? I just don't see this working.
Posted by: baltar at December 1, 2006 09:42 AM | PERMALINKI think Romney is in. I'm not sure he'll get very far, but in his favor he really does have a great square-jawed smart-executive-who-listens vibe going when he's at his best. He gives a good speech and he hears what people say. That said, I don't think the wingnuts will buy a Mormon and I think the moderates will be looking elsewhere, but we'll see.
The underwear questions will be fun, at least.

Hey, you think Romney would want to swear his oath on the Book of Mormon?! Someone call Dennis Prager!
