~”I have talked to a few Catholics and they seem open to Romney. For one thing, they can relate to the anti-Mormon rhetoric. They’ve been having to put up with it, too.”~
Personally, I feel more a kindred spirit with Catholics than with any other denomination. I’ve only run across one Catholic Mormon-basher.
I think conservative Catholics, by and large, will have no problem pulling the lever for Romney.
It seems the “Would not vote for a Mormon” lobby is concentrated amongst Protestants, particularly Evangelicals.
Interestingly, the “would not vote for a Mormon” group is a higher percentage amongst liberals than conservatives - a point made in the original article. This indicates to me that liberals are particularly afraid of Mormons. Sounds to me like a good reason for our detractors to reconsider their position.
Yep. And the media types REALLY can’t stand Mormons. That is a good sign, too. Did you read the piece where they see Mormons as “Christians on steroids”? That made me laugh and feel particularly good.
We are a peculiar people; I’ll give them that.

That statement doesn't make much sense to me. Is your only goal for Romney to win the primary? There are a LOT of liberals who will be voting in the general, along with the Evangelicals.
I want the Republicans to win the GENERAL election, and Romney will lose it for us.
