I think Romney being Mormon kills him in the general. I’m not saying I agree with it or like it, in fact it is damn prejudicial. But evangelicals consider them messed-up cultists and in the South you might as well be Martian as Mormon. Thereisn’t a GOPer in the field I wouldn’t vote for personally over Hillary, but McCain would be a 3-clothespinner on my m=nose!
Why does everyone assume the nominee will be Hillary? Just askin’.
How do things change if it’s Romney vs Obama?
Romney won in at least two states with the majority of evangelicals....your point is absurd.
I think his Mormonism will hurt him, but not kill him. If his campaign continues to put his solid family life front and center and play to the Hillary haters, I believe many people will warm up to Mitt. He'll also give it as good as he gets it when the Clintons pull their usual dirty-tricks and shenanigans.
That’s ridiculous. Christians don’t vote in a bloc, regardless of the way the media talks about us. It’s character and values that matter and Mormons believe in and live by biblical and American values. Maybe in the east being a Mormon is a strange thing, but out here in the west we know them to be good solid people. His faith will not be held against him any more than if he were Jewish or Catholic. It’s a media manufactured issue. I’d much rather vote for a good Mormon than a bad Catholic. We are sending in our early ballots for Romney tomorrow, hoping he has enough sense to pick Thompson for VP.
