I thought Newt was Catholic.
Oh...you’ve done it now...
Stand by for heavy rolls...
That’s very rye of you!
There will be an initial flourish of interest, but I think the “Mormon Problem” will vanish long before the election.
I’ve got plenty of problems with Mormonism, but I think the basic political instinct will kick in...that a man’s beliefs are out of bounds. I don’t think his Mormonism will be a significant issue.

Seriously - Tiger - I clicked on that Santorum link.
I was dumbfounded.
That kind of crap coming from a ~LAWYER~????
I can see why he’s a politician. He missed the first course on presumption of innocence. Not to mention due process, prejudicial pre-trial publicity and about a dozen other things.
For Pete’s sake! Even Alan Dershowitz of all people said the charging document was a piece of crap. Rick, along with the scheming DA and a bunch of other people are gonna look pretty stupid if they throw this thing out before it gets to trial.
A lawyer and a presidential candidate. Talk about prejudicing the case. I guess Rick was feeling too white and thought he needed some street cred with Da Panthas. Shows a total lack of good judgment.
At this point, unless something divinely miraculous happens at the convention, I’m voting for whoever is running against obama in the general election on the GOP ticket. I don’t care if he’s rastafarian, scientologist, moonie, hari-krishna, primitive-Baptist, Catholic, Methodist and yes, even if he’s Morman or Mermaid-Man.
The GOP candidate will be my choice because the only other *viable* candidate running at that point will be obama and I ain’t voting for a demoncrap.
