What's more significant--that a heckler expressed his opinion that Romney "doesn't know the Lord", or that he was booed by the crowd?
Romney was near Orlando in the tornado-ravaged Villages area, addressing a standing-room-only crowd of 800.
Some years ago I read a book called the "Press Effect", which dealt in great detail with the media's tendancy to produce "a frame" for a political candidate. Once the media has created this frame, they seldom deviate from it--Bush is dumb, Gore is a liar, etc...
Romney's in danger of allowing himself to be framed as an unelectable Mormon, and he's going to need more than this mild refutation to shake up the pundits. My suggestion? Confront the problem head on.
