I'm a Romney supporter, and I'm a Mormon. This analysis validates a concern I've had as a Mormon for some time that Romney's candidacy may actually wind up hurting the LDS Church. After all, Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, taken on their own, don't make me think too fondly of Catholics and Baptists.

There are some on Free Republic that oppose Romney specifically because they are afraid his election would legitimize Mormonism and lead to a surge in the growth of the LDS Church. That this is a political consideration for them is something I have condemned in the strongest terms. Nevertheless, I think it's an assumption based on a false premise.

You see, Baptists and Catholics make up most of America. Mormons make up a few TV commercials and a few percentage points of American history. My point is that nobody really cares about Mormonism enough to discriminate against it. I'm tired of Mormon's trying to become the next victim.

Some of the Evangelicals certainly do.
