Charles Mitchell, who blogs at evangelicalsformitt.com but is not formally affiliated with the Romney campaign, said, “We don’t just want you to get up there and pound your foot and say, ‘I’m pro-life!’ ‘Let’s go after gay marriage!’” He also said that evangelicals like him are frustrated by publicity stunts like Judge Roy Moore’s defiance of a court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from his courthouse. “Where di…

The Birth of Glenn Beck’s Nation

By Kelly J. Baker

…coverage concludes that Beck is, at best, “bonkers.” Alex Pareene of Salon.com, however, realizes that perhaps this is not “some sort of victory”; that leaving Fox is not the end of Beck, but rather that his legacy might not be as a talking head but as an amateur historian, the creator of Beck University, with a clear, and popular, articulation of nation. The tagline for BU promises, “learn history as it really happened” with David Barton responsi…

Will Huntsman’s Mormon Mojo Work on the National Stage?

By Joanna Brooks

…by his washed-out looking website. Go to campaign headquarters at Jon2012.com (which, by the way, doesn’t come up when you Google “Hunstman 2012” or “Huntsman for President”—ouch). The first thing you see is a long shot of a helmeted man riding motocross across the red sands of Monument Valley in southern Utah. And a single word: “Finally.” Really?
