From Sullivan via Howard Kurtz << Andrew Sullivan picks up on a National Review posting about the governor of Massachusetts, a likely '08 prospect: "Mitt Romney is going to have a hard time connecting with the social conservative base of the party given his Mormon faith -- just a fact of life. For what it's worth. . . . " -- a GOP insider as reported by Rich Lowry in NRO. Lowry clarified with another less pronounced euphemism: 'Yes, the point that insider I cited earlier was making was that a Mormon would have trouble connecting with the evangelical Christian base of the party.' "It's not a big deal, but it is interesting as an indicator of what the GOP now is: a sectarian base with political outreach. 'Trouble connecting . . . ?' Translation: a Mormon would not be accepted by the evangelical Christian base of the GOP because he's a . . . Mormon. When your base is sectarian, it's not surprising they have sectarian preferences. A simple question: will someone not 'born again' be able to be a Republican candidate for president in the near future? The answer isn't obvious.">> washingtonpost.com
