Forty-three percent (43%) of American voters say they would never even consider voting for a Mormon Presidential candidate. Of course, most if not all of those are Dems. Our state rep (for several terms) was Mormon and it didn't seem to hurt him at all.

Nameless Mormons are like all other nameless candidates.
Once they see Mitt is not a 3 headed monster with as many wives and hundreds of children I think they will not be so ignorant.

I've been saying this over-and-over and keep getting attacked as "Anti-Mormon."
Not the case at all. (I know squat about Mormons, other than they make good neighbors and that the Methodist Church and Roman Catholics don't accept their baptisms.)
It's a fact.
I can hear now Pat Robertson getting on the 700 Club and saying "God will withdraw his protection from us if we support a non-Christian like Romney."
Yes, yes, I know Mormon consider this Christian. Again, I have no idea on the subject.
I am just stating a fact: the "700 Club" set won't vote for Romney
And a Republican CANNOT get elected with active dislike of that group.
Period.
Hillary would get out her fake 2ft by 2ft Bible and claim to be a Christian and that would be all it will take.

THe incoming Senate Majority Leader is a Mormon (and he has no charm whatsoever).

Personally for me religion does not mean a thing. I go for the way a candidate stands on the issues that are important to me and also what he has done in office.

Now this is annoying, the media is already trying to shape the race on the republican side.
1. McCain
2. Rudy
3. Condi isn't going to run why bring her up?
4. Mitt Romney.
My goodness three moderate/liberals and a ghost candidate who will not appear on any ballot.
How about "None of the Above"?

Why would Pat Robertson call a member of a Christian church a "non-Christian?"
Besides, lots and lots of Evangelical leaders have already said they would support Mitt Romney.

While I would have no problem voting for some Mormons, this particular one is a non-starter (or Hatch for that matter).

I doubt it, based on this subset:
Half (53%) of all Evangelical Christians say that they would not consider voting for a Mormon candidate.
Most likely your representative's faith wasn't universally known or wasn't publicized in the primary, or your district's electorate isn't representative of the country as a whole.
I was pleasantly surprised that my state elected a Mormon as governor over a woman named Shannon O'Brien. I'll be not so pleased if a more reliably conservative state can't match that accomplishment in their primary because of his faith.

While I would not vote for a Mormon Presidential candidate, I would vote for a Presidential candidate that happened to be Mormon.

I agree. I wonder how many of the 19% who knew he was Morman would support him. This should be a relatively easy hurdle, like the first catholic, the first womanizer/abuser, etc. Besides, he is cute.

I know squat about Mormons They're not Trinitarians. The "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" are supposedly three persons who used to be human beings. The Father got promoted to the job of ruler of this planet. Eventually, if you're good, you can have your own planet too. If you don't believe me, look it up.

I am just stating a fact: the "700 Club" set won't vote for Romney. He seems to be making headway with this group. The more they see him and the better they know him, the more they like him.

LOL I don't know why they keep putting her name in. I guess because they don't have enough well known candidates to go on yet.

"Why would Pat Robertson call a member of a Christian church a "non-Christian?""
Because certain evangelical groups do not consider Mormons Christians.
Has something to do with not recognizing the Trinity and/or that Jesus was fully God and fully man (or something -- I don't know enough about Mormonism to understand the dispute.)
Note, I am not saying Mormons are not Christians. I have no idea.
I am just stating that many, many Christian denominations do not consider Mormons Christians.
Whether the groups are correct or not is beside the point; they believe it to be so and will act accordingly.
