Devil in the details

Chris at Americablog obliquely touches on the really important follow-up question to as Mitt on his ‘based on the numbers of American Muslims in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration’ statement.

Muslims make up about 1 % of the population. Mormons (including Mr. Romney) make up around 2% (according to the 2001 ARIS survey).

So, are we to take it that Mr. Romney doesn’t want any Mormon’s in his cabinet? Or, at the very least, he’ll appoint at least one atheist before a Mormon?

Based on the numbers, of course.
