RealClearPolitics co-blogger John McIntyre notes that George Allen's political decline thanks to Macacagate happens to coincide with the rise of Mitt Romney as a credible GOP presidential contender to rival frontrunners Giuliani and McCain. He offers further that if Romney weren't a Mormon, he'd be the frontrunner.
We agree. Believing Mormon theology doesn't foster the impression that one is critically minded. But one can overcome that impression with competency in other areas.
And for those who wonder about our SWNIDish political preferences, we would be very comfortable with the Governor of Massachusetts as Republican candidate for POTUS should he prove a strong enough candidate to be likely to clobber the Junior Senator from New York in November 2008. We know Rudy can, but if Mitt can, that's all good too.
