“The “Mormon issue” seems to be more important to the drive-by media than to the grass-roots Republican voters.”
I agree. The pattern I’ve been seeing in the last few weeks is that the genuine bigotry is really pretty isolated amongst the base.
I think the MSM is playing with fire if they harp on the religion issue. There’s a very strong possibility of backlash.
The number of religious conservatives who won’t vote for Romney because of his religion is far outweighed by the number of Mormon who will vote for him because he is mormon.
But if the author of this clap wants to see bigotry, wait until Romney goes up against Hillary. She will do things with his religion that he can’t even imagine.
ANd it will work. Even in the early polls, Romney always looses to Hillary.
