Novak v. Last, Neuhaus as Referee

The 2008 Presidential Race has brought about some rather amusing discussions (and positions) among Catholic conservatives . . . this from December 2007:

• Why I Decided to Support Mitt Romney, by Michael Novak. "The Corner" @ National Review December 12, 2007. Michael Novak endorses Romney for president.
  
• A most curious endorsement", First Things December 13, 2007. Jonathan V. Last takes issue with Novak's endorsement.
  
• Jonathan V. Last on Romney "The Corner" @ National Review December 14, 2007. Michael Novak responds . . .
  
• Novak on Romney Reloaded First Things December 14, 2007. Jonathan V. Last attempts to marshal Fr. Neuhaus' criticism of Mormonism.
  
• Re: Romney, for the last time, by Richard John Neuhaus. First Things December 17, 2007. Fr. Neuhaus says "no way, I'm staying out of this!" ;-)
