[Final Authority]

If it went to Allen, which it never will, could we say that it was bombed by ill advised southerners? Are you going to go on an anti LDS rant now?

I thought in 1960 the Baptists and Methodists from the south finally got over their collective phobia of other religious traditions when JFK was elected? Did you? Or, were you even around then? The word for an unreasonable intolerance is bigotry. For many of us, we need to on occasion, consider whether or not we are unreasonable in our intolerance of others.

Mitt is a good guy. He would not ever have an unreasonable intolerance of you.

I didn't even share my own thoughts. It's just that Mitt is a marginal canidate now, less known than most of those others. There's no question that the poll is being bombed by his supporters, it's the equivalent of Lieberman or Kucinich leading a Dem 2004 online poll.

Mormons are the first people I'd think of as Mitt's rabid supporters -- I doubt that Massachusetts Republicans are bombing the poll.

But Mitt can't win, and his religion is part of the problem. I'm Catholic, and I've always viewed Mormons as odd, but that makes me pretty tolerant compared to evangelicals. Most southern protestants will never support a Mormon, simple as that.
