Mitt Romney said today no Mormon authority will influence what he does
if he's elected President of the United States. With a religious test
prohibited by the Constitution, should any candidate have to defend his
or her religion? Does Mormonism raise special questions? Has Romney
provided the answers some voters think they have a right to ask? Also, the President's plan to assist sub-prime mortgage holders, and a dispute over fortune telling in Southern California provides a rare glimpse into the lives of Gypsies.
