Orrin Hatch is a Mormon. Harry Reid is a Mormon. You never hear anyone complain about it. Well of course not. They represent states where a lot of voters are Mormon. Very unlikely either one could have been elected from South Carolina. Or lots of other states.

What I'm saying is - people from South Carolina don't complain about Hatch or Reid being Mormons. Nor do you see them shooting out their television sets whenever Donny Osmond is on.
Nevada is 6% Mormon. Arizona is 6% Mormon. Both states have had plenty of Mormons winning statewide elections. It's not because Mormons are such a huge percentage of the population. It's because many of the very successful people in these states are Mormon, and non-Mormons don't have trouble voting for them.
It's not like you ever see Mormons busting down shop windows, spray painting graffiti on public buildings or carjacking SUV's to support their heroin habit. Weird religion or not, the faith produces folks who are competent, productive executives.

That says a lot about S. Carolina — none of it good.
