Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney is the former governor of Massachusetts and a 2012 Republican candidate for President. He is the author of No Apology: The Case for American Greatness (2010) and founder of the Free & Strong America PAC (political action committee). Romney's failed 2008 campaign emphasized his success as a businessman and chief executive; his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints played an important role in that campaign, as some leaders of the Religious Right hesitated in supporting his candidacy because of ongoing skepticism about Romney's Mormon faith. Romney frequently spoke of his faith in general terms accessible to evangelical voters, but he has resisted more detailed discussion of Mormonism. The anti-Mormon sentiment in 2008 was frequently compared to the anti-Catholicism that faced both Al Smith in his failed 1928 Presidential bid and John F. Kennedy in his 1960 victory.
