I found this at RedBlueChristian, and thought it was interesting how the respondant views him as worthy opponent.

MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT AT GodBlog CONFERENCE
Posted by Andrew Jackson under 2008 Presidential Candidates at 8:58 pm.

At the GodBlog Conference I have been surprised by the push and support verbalized for Mitt Romney by Hugh Hewitt (who is apparently writing a book of Romney) and Dr. John Mark Reynolds the Director of the Torrey Institute at Biola University. At this point, since I believe the global war on terrorism is the primary issue, I will be backing John McCain. However, I will stay open, and see how things unfold.

I can understand how Republicans would support Mitt Romney. He’s a traditional conservative with a solid record of working with his state legislature on a bipartisan basis.

His market-based solution to covering all Massachusetts residents with health insurace is clever, smart and working, and doesn’t entail “welfare”… attributes that should appeal to “compassionate conservatism.”

As a Democrat, he makes me nervous for 2008. :) From a Democratic perspective, I guess I hope Republicans are short-sighted enough to reject him for being a Mormon.

Deborah, from what I am seeing right now, I do not think he will be rejected overall for his Mormon faith. Your nervousness interests me.

Andrew,

He’s an attractive, articulate candidate whose basic conservative philosophy I fundamentally disagree with. And he’s an adult… no childish Karl Rove-style dirty trickster.

He makes me nervous because he’s a respectable, worthy opponent.
