I don't think playing the Mormon card's going to work for him.

I thought Mormons weren’t allowed to play cards.

2% of pop = 30% of GOP primary = 6-7% of pop voting in GOP primary? No wonder the Obamatrons are not worried. They will just cross over and pick another loser of a candidate again.

I think the Malibu Ken doll will have problems all over the country.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with his Mormonism – it’s about flip-flopping,” he said.

Amen Brother.

Please, Mitt. Go away. I know the dummycrats would love you on the ticket and the homosexuals that you’ve endorsed in the past think you’re great. . . plus, who can forget that stupid government-run health care that you approved, but just go away.

I think RomneyCare might also be a big problem. Funny how it’s always about some physical or religious difference with the MSM, you know, calling Republicans bigots while they completely ignore glaring policy problems.

My guess is the SC folks aren’t much interested in a big-government-worshiping Republican from Massachusetts as POTUS.

All problems connected to RomneyCare will succeed in preventing Mitt Romney from winning political office, ever again.

Me and about three fourths of the United States are sick and tired of the prejudice card being played. I don’t like Romney because of Romneycare, among many other things, not because he is a Mormon. I don’t like Obama because of Obamacare, among many other things, not because of his race. Romney is dead in the water if he even tries to pull out the “I’m a Mormon” card and we don’t want to hear it.

Romney does not have a Mormon problem, he has a liberal problem.

LOL! I guess I didn’t know that. I know they can’t drink coffee which I find incredibly sad as it is God’s gift to us to show us that He loves us and wants us to be happy.

Ugh... I wish he’d go away. Between the flipflopping and RomneyCare he is dead to me and it has nothing to do with his Mormon faith.

He does have nice hair though :).

Read again. The article said just two candidates = 30% of the GOP presidential candidate field.

Obviously they think the field is far less crowded than it is and put it at 6-7 candidates.

Cute.

Those who claim there isn't an anti-Mormon bias haven't been paying attention. It's definitely a factor, even the defining factor, for too many.

I'd like to see if he can defend RomneyCare and articulate why ObamaCare is bad while his plan wasn't or if he's learned something from it.

Fundamentally he has the problem of having been a MA Republican which means to appeal to the national base he has to move right and then defend his past positions. It's necessarily going to be ugly.

I was responding to a comment that said 2% of the country was LDS, but that 2% makes up 30% of the primary voting pool for the GOP.
