I’ve seen very few people mention the racist policies of the Mormon Church. Not saying Mormon’s are racists but officially blacks for example couldn’t join the Mormon Church until the 70’s or so.
If history is any indicator, they are going to hit mitt hard with proof the Mormon Church is racist. It would not be hard to do, and Mormon’s are not a large voting block so it would be safe to do so.
For a variety of reasons it is going to be hard for the Democrats to use the Mormon thing specifically.
And it’s a waste of time to go with the Mormons are racists meme, because the Democrats have the black vote sewn up anyway.
The Democrat strategy will indeed be based on instilling fear; and they can more easily do that with Gingrich and the fear of all your government goodies being taken away (they can roll out the good ‘ol out of context “Medicare should wither on the vine” video) and for Santorum, obviously they’ll roll with him being a fanatical Social Conservative who will ban abortion, put gays in concentration camps. etc.
