I don't think many people are going to care that his father was Mexican, might get him a few more Mexican votes, but in my experience they are generally strict Catholics that feel very strongly about Mormons.
Too bad he has zero appeal to atheists, because we're one of the few groups who don't find mormonism to be any stupider than any other brand of religion.

I never thought I'd say this to anyone ever, but you obviously don't watch fox news.
Spoiler alert: they've been demonizing him more than the left has, though that might have been tempered a bit lately as he becomes more obviously the de facto nominee.

It doesn't matter.
Nobody is beating Obama in this election and the GOP knows it.
They are just going to use this election to position themselves for next time.
This. And it's not because Obama is a rockstar or anything like that, either. The GOP simply does not have frontrunner material; they've been lost ever since Bush left office.

You mean when he did exactly that in 2007?

An excerpt:
Quote:
When I place my hand on the Bible and take the oath of office, that oath becomes my highest promise to God. If I am fortunate to become your president, I will serve no one religion, no one group, no one cause, and no one interest. A President must serve only the common cause of the people of the United States.
There are some who would have a presidential candidate describe and explain his church’s distinctive doctrines. To do so would enable the very religious test the founders prohibited in the constitution. No candidate should become the spokesman for his faith. For if he becomes President he will need the prayers of the people of all faiths.

Fox News is for Santorum. Murdock has publicly stated hes supporting him and if you were objective at all you would see that. Also, in 99% of polls Ron Paul is destroyed in a head-to-head with Obama, whereas with Romney in most polls he's either beating Obama or tied. I don't know what planet you Ron Paul people live on, but obviously reality doesn't exist there.
Romney is a technocrat, a pragmatist, which is why he comes off as robotic. He doesn't give rousing inspiring speeches. He's cautious, not brash. Its true though that the average bovine american voter is too shallow to recognize or appreciate this. They want the hollywood feel-good story. They typically vote for the most "likeable" guy. But look where that has got us. GW Bush was more likeable than Gore - in a nutshell thats what put him over the top. Same with Clinton before him. And now, we have a likeable personality as President who is very good at making rousing speeches, and making bold promises, and he's in way over his head, and borderline dangerous.
I think this country needs a boring, pragmatic, technocratic leader for a change.
Wow...no he wasn't.
Gore in 2000 was a lot more uptight than Gore >2000, so it's debatable. Bush was definitely more likable than Kerry.

i'm going to go with: if he pulled it off in 2007, then why is his mormonism still an issue now? answer: cuz he's a robot who can't cry.

Because it's something the media can use to try to divide their political opponents, conservatives.
