Romney And Mormonism
I don't normally read Slate, but this is an important read for Romney supporters like me out there. John Dickerson writes that Romney should start talking about his religion, and real soon. He's got to get the metaphorical 600 pound gorilla out of the way if he's got a shot at securing the GOP nomination.
I initially didn't think his religion would cause problems, but turns out, Americans aren't exactly the greatest fans of Mormons. But Dickerson cites a Rasmussen poll that shows that 43 percent of respondents and 51 percent of evangelicals wouldn't vote for a Mormon candidate. That's pretty rough stuff, and Romney has his work cut out for him.
