You don’t beat the first black President with someone from a religion that banned blacks from joining until about 30 years ago. IMO, a Republican Mormon has very little chance of ever becoming President because of all the exposes 20/20 and Dateline will run on the religion that will creep people out. From a personal standpoint, my beef with Romney and Huntsman is that I believe they are the two most liberal candidates running for the nomination. You can’t possibly tell me there is anything Reaganesque in the way either man carries themselves.
Yeah, Romney is a closet liberal and old style Mormon. Huntsman is less strict religiously in addition to being the ONLY candidate running with both successful political and corporate experience who has done great things for the state of Utah and equally great things for America. He is the ONLY candidate that understands the challenges of International Trade, and even more importantly, he understands how to introduce low tax, high growth business friendly, job friendly policies.
People are going to vote for their jobs and lives - not whether a candidate walks like Reagan or was born into a different religion. At least make the case for a different candidate instead of bashing to death the most promising one already in the race.
