A happy belated Columbus Day to you and yours. Interesting contrast between the Globe's and Herald's takes on Mitt Romney's Monday speech in North Carolina. The former paper plays up Romney's warning that Islamic militants want to create a theocracy here, or in the Middle East, or somewhere. There's also a detailed synopsis of Romney's self-proclaimed achievements, including his claim to have cut more government jobs "in Massachusetts than any other state in America." (We'll see if that one holds up.) The Herald--using an AP story that seems absent from BostonHerald.com--doesn't touch the governor's statements on Islamic radicalism, but says Romney gave credit to Democratic legislators (!) for aiding his efforts at reform. Color me cynical, but as a prominent Mormon politician--whose faith may pose problems with evangelical voters--does Romney really want emphasize the perils of mixing religion and politics?
