For reasons I don't understand, former President George H.W. Bush is giving Mitt Romney's pre-speech introduction. That seems...significant. Unsurprisingly, CNN is talking over it.

Yeah, that was weird.
I was thinking, "helloooo... former president and father of the current president introducing Romney here... there could be something to this..."
Meanwhile, they were letting Ralph Reed, of all people, go on about how America does not need, and should not want, to ask candidates questions about their religious beliefs.
This, from the former head of the Christian Coalition.
Duh, Klein, Romney gave his speech at the George Bush Presidential Library...
And the significance of that is...?
Duh, Traven, maybe there's some sort of Family Bush endorsement for Romney's campaign involved, and maybe the talking heads might want to speculate on that possibility? Duh.

No, I don't know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God.
