From reader Sophie:

The debate was beautiful. You can tell alot about a man by his opponents' reactions- look at Chris Matthew's face as Mitt answered the Catholic Bishops question. Matthews had a mixture of anger and awe at the Govenor's response. He knows that Romney is the one to beat. The fact that Romney hit pieces in the MSM outnumber all the other republican candidates combined by 10:1, it's obvious who the left thinks the man to beat is. And let's not forget the timing of a movie about the Mountain Meadow Massacre- due to be released this Fall. According to Novak, it presents early Mormon leaders as "terrorists". Why would anyone make a movie about a 150 year old crime that is obscure outside of religious circles? Why now?
