November 23 A new poll suggests that Mitt Romney's faith could play a role in the 2012 Republican nominating race, with a sizable portion of respondents saying they believe that Mormonism is a non-Christian faith.
The survey from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted earlier this month, showed Romney the slight favorite among the Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters surveyed. He edged Herman Cain, 23% to 22%, with Newt Gingrich at 16%.

I bet his faith will play a major role in Utah and other western states primary too.
For me it’s his silver spoon that bother’s me. He acts like a snooty rich kid.
I'm not Mormon, but if I didn't vote for Romney, it wouldn't be because he is Mormon!
I don't prefer Romney for GOP, but next to Obama it's a no brainer.
Romney all the way against Obama!
This shouldn’t be, but if he gets the nomination the obama, lock-step media will have a field day with his religion. It’s gonna be very ugly...
Romneycare is a huge factor for me.

I will never vote for a cult member to be my president.
Name one person of FR that says people can’t practice in whatever religion they want.
Romney’s entire character is based on his religious convictions, just like everyone else.
These beliefs are who he is as well as his political governance.
I ask because people say that all the time. I would not call Reid a patriotic American, yet he is honored by lds as a "good example of what mormons should be".
I would not call a governor who passed govern mandated health care a good patriotic American.
I would not call a state (Utah) a good patriotic state that panders to illegals.
mormonISM is at its core deceptive. They have a wonderful PR machine.
” if he gets the nomination the obama, lock-step media will have a field day with his religion”
They can get all the ammo they need right here on FR.
yup, the militant homos are looking for revenge on the LDS over the LDS support of prop 8. I don’t have any issue with his religion, I just dislike his socialist tendencies
I agree with that. However, I also don't consider Mormons to be Christians. Saying that, I wouldn't really care if Romney worshiped a giant cockroach god if he were a real conservative. Mitt's problem is he is a flip flopping chameleon who will say whatever he feels is necessary to win.

I agree with that as well. I will under no circumstances vote for Romney in the primaries, but if he wins the nomination I will vote for him against Hussein. I regard 3rd party voting is a useless waste of time. We have a two party system and that isn't going to change no matter how much people scream and cry about it. Most of the time I have to vote for the lesser of two evils and sadly, I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
Yes, his faith in big government. For pols, that’s way more important than religion.

Following November 2012, Mitt Romney will have no more utility value, and I believe he may end up being one of the most despised and discarded men this formerly great nation has ever seen. Presumably he has enough lucre stashed around the place to blow off the consequences of his hubris. I wish I did.
Mr. niteowl77
And I think you hit on the plan.
Faith in socialism for sure.
