Look for the Mormons to propagate the Religious Bigotry card as the Kennedy's did in the 1960 election. Let's all see how it works for them.

Having an open mind to the point of having your brains spill out is not a good idea.

Other than Mormons here at FR using Romney as their personal soapbox for grievances, I've seen nothing of the sort. The first big downside I see in nominating Romney is that FreeRepublic would become all-Mormonism-all-the-time. It would be a Mormonorama extravaganza. Well, I suppose management could deal with it.

Romney does not appear to be especially religious. He has said, when asked, that every church has its own peculiar beliefs and said it in such a way as to indicate that he knows Mormonism is a little odd and that he might not agree with entirely. He almost, but didn't quite, blush.

To tell the truth, I think Romney is much more drawn to it for the Scouting and the focus on family life and community. I don't perceive him as being very theological. For one thing, that would be highly unusual in any corporate CEO type. That just doesn't fit their mold and the culture of corporate America. Corporate America genuinely dislikes profound religious convictions.
