“Again you are failing to grasp the immensity on the onslaught against Mormonism.”

I believe you are failing to grasp the immense apathy with which the vast, vast majority of the conservative base views this issue. Your assertion that you would never vote for a Mormon (I think you said that before) are in line with a tiny fraction of the base - and even the majority of people who agree with you, I think, would hold their noses and vote for Romney if Clinton were the opponent.

I predict that we will find that Romney’s religion will fizzle and die as an issue, if he winds up being the nominee. The Clinton machine is too savvy to make such an obvious blunder.

Have you seen any of the polls? Seriously. Some say up to 45% will NOT vote for a Mormon. Other more conservative polls say 17%. Mormonism comprises 1- 1.5% of the general population with the majority in just one State.

And I've already said, it will not be the Clinton machine that launches the attack, but it will most certainly profit from it. The attack will come from many different quarters.

Mormonism is goofy to Christians, belief in God is goofy to Athiests, Flip-flopping Easterners are goofy to most of the rest of us. He's done, stick a fork in this candidate already before he damages our party more than he already has done. Suave, silver-tongued, devils are only attractive to drunk, ugly, girls in bars. There aren't that many of those in the Republican party. Hey maybe Romney is running on the wrong ticket. In fact I'm sure of it!
