Romney's bad, bad bet

Mitt's bet was a foolish gesture on two levels. First, it was absolutely tone-deaf toward the plight of millions of Americans who are unemployed or struggling to make end meet.

But on another level, it raises questions about something Romney has emphasized of late: his faith and values! Note what the Church of Latter Day Saints says about gambling:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is opposed to gambling, including lotteries sponsored by governments. Church leaders have encouraged Church members to join with others in opposing the legalization and government sponsorship of any form of gambling.

Is Romney's core so shallow that he'll toss his faith aside just to score a debating point? He seemed to be offering a handshake like it was a sincere bet...
