Faith of Your Father?

Could this week's objet d'eBay —Jeanne Davis's cheery (?) memoir of how her family was reactivated into their Mormon faith — help Mitt Romney gain the Republican nomination?

Unlike when his father George ran unsuccessfully for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination (he fell out of favor by claiming to have been "brainwashed") son Mitt is on the defensive about his religion.

In trying to fight off the attacks on what he believes sparked by Mike Huckabee's campaign, Romney is encouraging people to find out for themselves something more about the progeny and followers of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith.
