I do think he made one good point - "Unlike the Jeremiah Wright scandal where President Obama simply pushed Wright into a closet, Romney can't easily separate himself from Mormonism because of his past role as a leader in the church."

And remember, I'm understanding they will make Mormonism an issue at Convention. If they do that, it's "hands-on" for the Democrats after Obama issued a "hands-off". If he gets whipped with it, it will be his own fault.

Catholicism is misguided in some areas, like other religions, but they are mainstream as they also believe that God always was and was not a man who became righteous through steps and progression to become God. At the outset, Mormonism will never be mainstream, unless, voters put him in the WH.
Mormonism hasn't been hidden away and obscure. Prominent sports figures were Mormons. Prominent political leaders, businessmen, etc. Mormonism isn't going to hurt Romney.

I never said it would hurt him. Why would it? I did say it would be an issue in the fall. So, why would it hurt him when no one cared about his flip-flopping self. Or that he has been lauded for having conservative positions that he never implemented or was able to pass when he was a governor.

It's crazy that you won't find evidence that Newt ever voted against anything he campaigned on but, Romney has broken numerous pledges in Massachusetts to both Conservatives and Liberals. I expect, if he wins, he will do that in the White House as well.

We are voting for the next President of the United States, not who will be the next Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Is Gingrich more worthy of the office?

That is a serious concern for me, however, I will NOT vote for BO and I don't see any other choices do you?

Yes, a no vote or for whoever else will be on the ballot - Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. The RNC is trying their best to remove them, so it might be between the two evils, er, the lesser, er. How does that go?
