The media would obsess about his magic undies, use polygamy as a target weapon against him and his church by supporting polygamists to march and stage protests getting the evangelicals upset, delve into the Mormon's history and plaster it over the air waves/news papers making the Mormon church look kookier than it already is.
The GOP has to think like the left. There's just too much to about Mormonism to use against Romney for him to be an effective president.
If the media chooses to make something a topic, it will and if it decides to ignore something, they'll do that too.
So are you suggesting that the media should have a veto power over who the Republican nominee is?
I would suggest that you have a point, that the MSM will go after Romney and Mormonism. I would also suggest that the MSM will go after any Republican nominee, based on whatever criteria they decide will be the best line of attack.
The media will find something wrong with ANY GOP nominee. I think it’s a given that the MSM will be in the tank for Obama again in 2012.
