John Kennedy

Mr. Romney ... You are no John Kennedy

By Darwins Beagle - Posted on December 7th, 2007

Mitt Romney, Republican Governor of Massachusetts, is running for president. He also happens to be a Mormon. And his religion is becoming an issue in the campaign. In 1960 another Massachusetts politician running for president was having his religion becoming an issue in the campaign. He was a Catholic, and no Catholic had ever been elected president.
