Product Description
According to a Los Angeles Times / Bloomberg poll, 37% of Americans would not vote for a Mormon Presidential candidate. That statistic represents a major obstacle for Mitt Romney, a Mormon candidate in 2008. Niles A. Fuller explains why religion will not prevent the former Governor of Massachusetts from achieving his Presidential ambitions. Along the way, Fuller provides insights into Mormon beliefs and practices that will affect Romney's candidacy. For Republican voters, this is a must-read book.

 Face Value, 2007-11-18
Any person who votes against somebody based on their , religion, or race is small minded an bigoted. This book points out that Policy, Character, Leadership, Intelligence, Honesty and Optimism are what people should be looking for in a President, and it shows why Mitt Romney is a real contender.

 Its not that he's a Mormon - its the flip flops, 2007-06-26
I agree with George Conquest (great name!). The book provided no valuable information about Mitt. It was instead a mish mash of ideas twisted together to promote Mitt's candidacy.
The issue is not Mitt's religion - it's his character. Someone who reverses a lifetime of positions in order to win the Republican nomination is just not electable (what next - Mitt for the Democractic nomination in 2012?!)

This Book Is A Total Ripoff!, 2007-06-18
I expected to find some useful information for evaluating Mitt Romney (a Mormon) for president. I was very disappointed in this useless publication.
It is extremely brief in larger type and a real joke at the price it is selling for.

The Critical Issue in the Romney Candidacy -- Intelligently Analyzed, 2007-03-29
In response to recent speculations about whether a Mormon can be elected President, Fuller (a Mormon himself) offers an engaging analysis of how Romney can overcome the Mormon issue.
Although 37% of American say they wouldn't vote for a Mormon, Fuller summarizes the history of religion and the Presidency and presents a number of reasons why Romney can overcome religious opposition, including:
1. Seven months before JFK was elected, 35% of Americans said they wouldn't vote for a Catholic (but JFK swayed them with his Houston speech),
2. Evangelicals are pragmatists who will vote for a candidate who shares their values over one that does not (e.g., Hillary, Giuliani, McCain), and
3. Official Mormon teachings state that a Mormon politician is free to assert political positions that contradict Mormon religious doctrines (meaning that Romney will probably distance himself from his church).
Along the way, the author raises some issues that have not been presented in any other book or article I've read. For example, many Mormons oppose Romney's candidacy because they believe it will lead to bad publicity for the church (by Romney's opponents).
Interestingly, even though he is a Mormon, Fuller makes no attempt to defend the religion itself. He merely explains why it will not prevent Romney's election. As a bonus, the book is an enjoyable read. Highly recommended!
