I'm not sure if I buy it. All these political scientists assured me that Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein would have nothing to do with each other because of their religious differences.

I live in Arizona which has a lot of LDS. There are LDS candidates in darn near every single election. It's never been an issue.

Orrin Hatch is a Mormon. Harry Reid is a Mormon. You never hear anyone complain about it.

I actually think that Mitt will have an easier time with the press because his religion is kind of out there and exotic. They can attack fundamentalist Christians just fine, but being a Mormon almost qualifies you as being Multicultural.

.... also - if Obama gets the Dem nomination .... or even if he and Hillary partner-up - then it will be hard for the Mormon issue to ring very loud... since Barry Hussein Obama also has a religious label to deal with

The Evangelicals, Values Voters, Social Conservatives, and fundamentalists support the Huckster who allegedly is “one of them”, but is also a clown and a Democrat.

They open themselves to attack.

Well of course not. They represent states where a lot of voters are Mormon. Very unlikely either one could have been elected from South Carolina. Or lots of other states.
