And as soon as that came up, the candidacy would be effectively doomed. The MSM hates the Mormon church only a little less than “former day” Christians.

I remember reading of the brouhaha over JFK, the first Roman Catholic presidential candidate, who eventually said if he was in a pinch between Rome and presidential duties, he would step down.

What surprised me was that the “faith” speech Mitt gave was the same speech that JFK gave. And it worked for JFK. I suspect that is why so many Catholics (including Sean) supported Mitt in any way.

Which is why I think Mitt got so much favorable press. The MSM knew he would be easy to defeat that way. Get him the nom then let loose. Easy win. And Romney would be an easy defeat.
