I was a die-hard Huntsman backer. Now, I'll probably vote for Obama. I certainly don't hate Romney the way some people do, but I really believe that Huntsman will end up running again. I'd like to see that happen in 2016 as opposed to 2020, and as a Mormon, I will always defend Romney's religion when it becomes an issue with other voters. I never have understood picking a President on the basis on where he goes to church on Sunday.
Please don't vote for Obama because you would like to see Huntsman run again. He's done enough damage in four years.

I imagine dirty land deals are rare nowadays in Nevada.
I'd like to take bets on this one!

If Romney is running against Obama, do you think they will still feel that way?

Who are you kidding?

Romney is going to win the Mormon vote by such a landslide that the other candidates may as well avoid even TRYING to get the Mormon vote. He'll take it by at least 90-95% if not damn near ALL of it.

Which is a little surprising considering that Orville Hickman Browning, the defense lawyer in the Joseph Smith murder trial, was one of the founders of the Republican party.

I would just hope that the Mormon religion, has more common sense then some, who vote based only on color, and vote for the candidate they truly feel will serve this Country best.
Yea, you mean whites that voted for McCain only because he was white?

No...you're absolutely right.

Romney will win the Mormon vote by a super landslide. I don't even know why people are pretending that he won't. I guess it's to make a part of their constituency look like they won't only vote based on religion. Wait until the Utah primary....no one else outside of Romney will be competitive.

I'd bet at least 90% of Mormons will vote for Romney.

Of course they will. It won't help him anywhere except possibly AZ which could be in play this year with changing demographics. Nationwide, many more will vote against him or sit this one out because he is LDS. Maybe it is only a percent to two, but it could be the difference in some toss up states.
