No problem. I generally avoid religion threads, but all the political threads are devolving into religion threads, what with Huckabee stirring the pot. Just wanted to set the record straight. As a convert from Protestantism to Catholicism and a homeschooler living in the south, I’ve had evangelicals try to save my soul many times. And no matter how often I insist that my soul is in the best possible Hands, they persist.
So what’s your assessment of Huckabee’s chances with Mormons if he happens to win the nomination? I think he’s toast with Catholics.
He is toast with Mormon too.
I also am disappointed to see a perfectly good political forum turned into such an antagonistic religion forum.
Our message should be: “How can we understand and appreciate each other so we can work together for a common political purpose,” not “I am right and you are wrong and we are not going anywhere until you admit you are wrong.”
I don't think you can make assumptions.
For example, had someone asked me prior to the Iowa vote, would Romney's "charm" have more effect upon male or female voters in Iowa? (I'd probably said "female")
As it turned out, female voters showed greater discernment in Iowa than male voters. I believe as CNN reported, Romney got 24% of the female vote & 26% of the male vote. Huckabee got 40% of the female vote & only 28% of the male vote.
So for females, it was 40-24% Huckabee. Among males, it was a squeeker: 28-26% Huckabee.
If Clinton does a comeback, these numbers are important...it shows you that Huck can draw the female vote.
