I understand the objections to Mr. Romney's chosen theology. But, I can't support a candidate who would attack another's religious beliefs like this... Not in America where there is such a thing as Freedom of Religion. I don't think this will be good at all for Huckabee, even if the majority of Christians, and/or the majority of his supporters do agree with his theological beliefs. As for an ability to attract moderate or liberal voters.

If the Republican Party selects a candidate for President that makes religion such a huge issue like Huckabee does I don't believe they have much chance at attracting enough swing voters to secure the office, frankly. Not when the general public are so concerned about the War on Terror and may be afraid to elect a candidate who is so openly talks about religion and makes it an issue. They are looking for well-reasoned leadership -- not a holy warrior. As for campaigning against Romney -- there are many, many other objections one can bring up that would show him to be an unsuitable candidate without even touching on religion... Starting with the 2nd Amendment...

Are you suggesting that questioning whether the Mormon church teaches that Satan and Jesus are brothers is an attack? You do know that that is exactly what they believe, don't you? If you don't like the sounds of that theology, then you should be upset at the Mormons for teaching such a thing and not mad at someone for uttering the truth. Talk about backwards!
