So everyone’s talking about Mitt Romney’s “Mormon Speech”, wherein he made that asinine comment “Religion requires freedom.  Freedom requires Religion”, and went on about the Great Secular Threat, for the benefit of all those Republican primary voters who are edging over to Mike Huckabee these days.

So we have had all this great spiel comparing Mitt Romney’s speech with The Catholic Speech of a previous candidate who had been dogged about his Catholicism.  I am, of course, referring to…

Alfred Smith in 1928.

So the question is: how did Mitt Romney’s speech measure up to Alfred Smith’s speech?  I guess you just have to surf through the bloviating pundits to assemble your opinion.
