Last week, race reared its ugly head in the presidential campaign when it was disclosed that Rick Perry and his family had for years camped and hunted at a site known for its racially insensitive name. This week, religion moved to the forefront as a prominent supporter of Rick Perry's claimed that Mormon candidate Mitt Romney was not a "Christian."
Romney dealt with this in 2007-2008 when he ran for president. So it's nothing new to him...in fact it's nothing new to American politics. New York Governor Al Smith dealt with the issue of his Catholicism in 1928; so too did John F. Kennedy in 1960 and, to a lesser extent, John Kerry in 2004.
Compare these videos...is there a difference? Are there similarities?
