A Mormon president?

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.

"The one question you didn't ask was about Mormonism -- whether it would hurt him (Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney) in a national campaign. The answer is no. We've moved on. That died with my brother Jack."

-- U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, quoted in an Atlantic Monthly story about the Mormon faith of Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is widely thought to be considering a run for the White House.
