If Free Republic is any indication of conservatives and Republicans as a whole, his being Mormon was the deciding factor in his demise.
Every day there were threads, usually several at one time condemning the LDS Church.

Pretty sad, isn’t it?
Nonsense. There were about 5 people who hammered away at the Mormon thing over and over again, while the other 99% of the comments were about issues.
