Martha Zoller discusses Gov. Romeny

From Human Events:

Another really good piece written by a Georgian....this time Gainesville's Martha Zoller. At the convention this weekend, I was able to discuss her meeting with Gov. Romney and this reflects many of her thoughts she shared with me. Click the link to read the full article but here are some key excerpts:

Mitt Romney in the Southland

"Then we talked about terrorism and of all the candidates, Rudy Guiliani included, Romney communicated on Tuesday in the debate a better understanding of Islamic fundamentalism and who hates who and why than any candidate on the Republican side, or at least he can express it in terms that a lay person can understand."

"Back in the room in the 1818 Club in Georgia, Romney is discussing his social views. He makes sense; his changes are not like the awkward moves that Rudy made toward the Pro-Life movement and then solidly back to his Pro-Choice past. Mitt Romney made the move to life issues the way most of us do, through learning about the issue. You can argue that regardless of what label Romney gives himself, he has lived his life as a social conservative. He’s been faithful to his wife, his family and his faith and if he wins over the South and the rest of the country—that will be the reason.

He is open about the religion issue and again, his life has been lead in a conservative Christian manner. Interestingly enough, the Christian Right has not been the ones that question his religion. It’s the guys on the left like Rev. Al Sharpton and the left wing blogs. They want to throw up every myth about Gov. Romney’s Mormon faith. When I asked the Governor why there is so much misconception about his faith, he said in good humor, “When you start out with the polygamy thing, it’s hard to shake.” I don’t know if it’s as simple as that, but it’s close.
