KC_Conspirator: “...there was a good amount of old fashioned anti-mormon bigotry that did him in, evidenced in the Mike Hucksterbee campaign.”

This is where we get into opinion. You believe bigotry did in Romney. Personally, I don’t think Huck’s support was anti-Romney so much as pro-Huck. What I mean is, Huck is a gifted speaker who shares his supporter’s Christian values (or, at least, they believe he shares their values). Huck appeals to his voters on their level, not as some political elite. Say what you will about his compassionate conservative past, but don’t deny he’s an appealing candidate to some voters.

Oh yeah, opinion, right. Like the push polling that the Hucksterbee campaign did in Iowa and SC where they overtly attacked Romney's mormonism, i.e. "Would you vote for mormon if you knew they worshipped the devil." Then there the references by Huckster himself when he said mormons believe Jesus and Satan were brothers. Then there is my connected evangelical friend who said he would never vote for a mormon and writes articles supporting Huckesterbee on that fact alone.

Silly me, its all just my wild imagination.
