But on a more serious note, any Mormon who had lived awhile in either the South or the Midwest could not have been very surprised that Romney took a shellacing in the Midwest and the South.

Methinks McNaughton applies his shellacking with too broad a brush.

The South and the Midwest are very large areas, and Romney was actually born in the Midwest. His father was Governor of Michigan in the 1960s.

Mitt won the primary there and came in second in Iowa. So I doubt they really hate Mormons there.

McNaughton's probably more on target about Los Angeles and San Francisco wanting to take Prop. 8 out on the Mormons.

And how would LA or San Fran be anymore hostile to a Bishop, or high member of any other main stream religion, or an observant Jew like Lieberman?

Well they wouldn’t be anymore hostile.

yea, that would be a problem if CA was in play for the general or if those gay fascists voted in R primaries.
