Don't wait for someone else to start talking about Mormons and politics, Harvard law professor Noah Feldman says.
Don't wait for someone else to start talking about Mormons and politics, Harvard law professor Noah Feldman says."If you wait, the discourse won't expand," he told BYU students Tuesday. "Then, what will happen is Mitt Romney or someone else will run ... and be in the same terribly awkward position, to be the spokesman for your religion. He didn't want to be, but he had no choice by then, because nobody else was really speaking in a very visible or significant way, or they weren't being given a chance to speak."

It is the second time Feldman — who wrote "What Is It About Mormonism?" for the New York Times Magazine in January 2008 — has been to BYU, he said.
