But Mitt Romney's a Mormon! (Fear not)

Mormon like me
MR says: A Chicago newspaper features local Mormons. You probably won't find them at the bar downing shots of Patron or at Starbucks waiting for a double-shot espresso, but if you think the closest you've ever been to a Mormon is a Mitt Romney bumper sticker, you're probably wrong. As Romney, a member of...

Is America ready to elect the first Mormon president?

At the Democratic National Convention, I...
