I spent a week earlier this month vacationing with friends in California. Because we don't have a governor with a household name, they inquired who was running Massachusetts. 'Mitt Romney,' I replied, adding: 'He's running for president.' That came as news to them, and provoked this rejoinder: 'Really? But isn't he a Mormon? Can a Mormon be elected president?' 'It's a fascinating question,' says Alan Wolfe, director of Boston College's Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life. 'Catholics like to talk about anti-Catholicism and Jews like to complain about anti-Semitism. But a hundred years ago, Mormonism was the most hated religion in America. Since then the religion has changed dramatically. It's almost like a new business taking off -- it's a quintessential American success story.' articles/2005/07/21/are_we_ready_for_a_mormon _president/
