Are you a Mormon?

Do you work for the Romney campaign?

Where did you go to law school?

How many motivated voters who care about politics have viewed the entire video online I wonder? It’s on several sites, and the blogs associated with it are overwhelmingly pro Mitt, at least on this video, people are coming around to him. the lazy TV viewers don’t always vote anyway. This was nothing but good PR for the Romney camp.

Did you READ my post? It said nothing about the YouTube video. I posted about the use that CNN and MSNBC MADE of clips from that video, and they were not favorable to Mitt. I also stated that I expect the same kind of treatment of him from the networks if he is the nominee.

thus he was not in any sort of vulnerable moment as if someone was eavesdropping on him without his knowledge? This is getting amusing to read the spinning commentary,

Hidden camera!!! Persecution!!! Wahhhhh!

What's amusing is that while they are hollering "persecution" they are then saying "it was good PR for MItt, people are turning to him."

The strongest ammo —there are leaders of the church who are pro-choice— has yet to be exploited, and you can bet the leftist goons didn’t miss that one!

If this clip hurt him, it's not showing up in either the polls or the election futures markets. If anything, this if helped him.

Did you read my post?

in a preview of what will happen in the general election .

I don't think this clip would hurt him in the general election, either.

The Mormon thing hurts him with protestant fundamentalist wackos who are a small, yet irritatingly vocal, part of the GOP base. But once he has the nomination, who are they going to vote for, Hillary? They'll hold their nose and vote for Mitt, because the alternative is far worse. The general election is about going after moderates, and they couldn't care less about whether he's a Mormon or not. The impression that he's distancing himself from his church might even be a plus in their eyes.

Glad you have it all figured out.
