By the way, do you think $Willard will pardon Warren Jeffs if he wins? lol
He wouldn't if he could, but he wouldn't be able to because Warren Jeffs has been prosecuted and convicted of state crimes, not federal crimes. Presidents can't pardon people convicted of state crimes. At least learn the basics about our legal system before making asinine comments like that one so that your absurd assertions correspond with something he could actually do if he is elected president.

Does a bear **** in the woods? Yes, his mormonism hurts him somewhat. It will hurt him more in the primary than in the general though. If he can get past the religious bigots in the GOP, his performance in the general will be based on qualifications, not religion.

White evangelical Protestants – a key element of the GOP electoral base – are more inclined than the public as a whole to view Mormonism as a non-Christian faith. And this view is linked to opinions about Romney: Republicans who say Mormonism is not a Christian religion are less likely to support Romney for the GOP nomination and offer a less favorable assessment of him generally. But they seem prepared to overwhelmingly back him in a run against Obama in the general election.
no its an excuse the reason why mitt is not winning the south is because he can not
connect with voters who make less than 100k according to exit polls.
if obama can win small town white voters in iowa and Indiana. Mitt should be able
to win catholics and evangelinicals.
Hmmm, lets see. he changes positions like a baby with diarrhea changes diapers. He and his wife are so wealthy that neither one can see any difference between going to a NASCAR even and owning a NASCAR team. He attacks anyone that comes close to him in the polls like a pit bull guarding a porkchop. He has to payback all of those extremely wealthy people who are financing him in some fashion.
As far as the southern Ecs are concerned, after he wins the nomination they wil have to make a choice as to who do they dislike more, the black guy or the mormon
In addition, most conservatives I know who really don't like Romney have said they don't care about winning the presidency anymore but they are committed to winning the senate and the house.
And Finally, the vast majority of Republican voters have said they will vote for the eventual nominee even if their candidate loses (and besides the Ron Paul supporters this number is roughly the same as it is any other election year). I'll have to track down some of those polls, but from what I've seen, they just don't bear out what many of you guys are saying
lol...How many conservatives do you know?
The vast majority eh? Not saying much from the diminished pool of enthusiasm...

Is Romney's Mormonism hurting him?
