From the article: This poll came on the heels of another poll last week from Associated Press/Gfk which found 19 percent of Republicans say they are less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate. That is bigger hurdle for Republicans than voting for a black candidate. Only 4 percent of Republicans said they are less likely to vote for a candidate if he is black. A CNN/ORC International poll this month found 36 percent of Americans don’t believe Mormonism to be a Christian religion –51 percent said yes – and 17 percent of all Americans say they are less likely to vote for a candidate who is Mormon.

From the article: ...it is getting harder by the day to pretend that Romney’s Mormon faith is not an issue with American voters, particularly the Evangelical Christians...People who pretend the issue does not exist are only fooling themselves.

The press constantly emphasizes his Mormon faith and then they are shocked -- SHOCKED! -- when people associate him with his Mormon faith?

Okay, let me put it this way -- If I made a list of the Top 5 Things I Hate about Romney, and I could very quickly, "Mormon" wouldn't make the list.

All the Rinos need to do is send out Karl Rove and Bill Bennet to tell the public to shut up about it like they did to GOP voters. It’s politically incorrect to consider Romney’s faith. So shut up!/s/

Instead, the public must focus on Romney’s grand successes. Like Romneycare. We know how much the American public love Obamacare...

Romney will lose to Obomba.
