Can Mitt pull off a JFK this week?
On Thursday at the GHW Bush Library in Texas, Mitt is making what's being billed as a major speech about his Mormon faith. Clearly he's attempting to calm the fears of Evangelical fundamentalists about his faith dictating his policy. He's trying to rip a page out of history by emulating JFK's reassurance to American's that Rome wouldn't influence him as President.

Will Mitt be able to pull this off? One thing's damn clear, he ain't no JFK.

1. No more JFK than the potato-brain was...
another prime case of the repubs wanting their cake and eating it too.

2. Fish on Friday and transubstantiation vs. Holy Underwear and "We don't have multiple wives anymore"
Good luck to him and the Boston Braves!!!

Maybe if Donnie and Marie sing backup--they've still got a great Q rating.

3. It will only hurt him.
He is opening the door and asking for it.

I am sure Rudy will be more than happy to ask a few questions, since he is in a nose dive.

4. Only if he admits boning Scarlett Johannsen or something.

5. No.
The more Willard Milton Romney speaks, the more he will remind people of his father's saying that he had been brain-washed. Willard is still in the cosmic rinse cycle, and his attempt to copy JFK will only help hang his campaign out to dry.
