Extreme Mormon

Of all the coverage of Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney finishing second in the the GOP presidential straw poll in Memphis, here is my favorite, provided by one of the sharpest political reporters around, Tom Curry:
Nancy French, who said she writes political humor for a living and organized the Romney volunteer effort in Tennessee, told reporters that she and other volunteers had spent three weeks preparing for the Memphis event. “If we had twice that, we could have taken the whole thing,” an exuberant French told reporters.
Asked if she – like Romney – was a Mormon, French said, “No, I’m a Presbyterian. Everybody keeps coming over to me and saying, ‘Way to go, Sister French,’ and I’m – like – ‘thanks.’ I feel like I don’t know what to say.”
We’ll keep an eye on Nancy French — although this country may not be ready for a second straight Massachusetts presidential candidate influenced by the French.
