Theo Anderson thinks Romney's picture-perfect life hurts him with Evangelicals:
It’s all well and good that [Romney] made a fortune and has apparently been a faithful husband for decades. But to really reach evangelicals’ hearts, he’d have to talk about some big failures along the way, and the role that his faith played in changing his life. If he could, it wouldn’t matter that he’s a Mormon, just as it hasn’t mattered to evangelicals that Newt Gingrich is twice divorced and a Catholic. Gingrich’s late-in-life conversion and his owning up to past sins absolve all that. The key for evangelicals is the transforming power of faith, not the denomination or tradition that one belongs to.
