And the book of mormon was dictated by God to Joseph Smith. Two statements his faiths require him to believe, neither in need of evidence or defense, rather they can be taken as axiomatic. |

He's another bloke who reminds me of the Old-Spice commercial. 'Look at my hair.....now look look at the economy.....now back at my hair!' As his governorship of Massachusetts ends, camera pulls away and he says (with surprise) 'I'm pro-life!' |

Even before Obamacare he wasn't going to make it. Too many changes in his positions from Gov to candidate, and then there's that whole Mormon thing.... In a way its a shame (just in a way), since he certainly had more proven executive ability than anyone in the field, either side. |

Why does everyone make an issue of Romney's religion? |

You seemed to consider it. It doesn't seem to be an issue for the Majority Leader of the Senate. Why do you think that is? |

I believe it an issue not speaking about personal preference but with my amateur political analyst hat on. I think voters in Utah and neighboring states are probably more comfortable with it than voters in other areas. Also there's a difference between senator and president. We had black senators in the 1870s and female senators a generation ago. |

Likewise when I said Daniels wasn't kooky enough I meant for the GOP primary voter, not for me personally. |

I disagree. I think it may be a non-issue now, but will become a major point if he won the nomination. |

Romney is probably (and probably ought to be) unelectable based on his abortion flip-flop. Anybody willing to change their deep-seated convictions so readily in order to get elected doesn't have any. |

No way; if a candidate's religion is going to be an issue, it's going to be a larger issue in the GOP primary then any where else. |

Romney puts up a good front, but as I said during the debates, he got this terrified, deer-in-the-headlights look whenever his record's inconsistencies would be challenged - things he didn't want to talk about. If that is all it takes to spook the man I sure don't want him in the Oval Office. Not to mention the fact that he signed into law must-purchase health insurance in Mass. No sale. |

Just because that's the way it goes in Democratic primaries doesn't mean it translates over to Republicans. The stuff about Obama's being educated in Indonesian Islamic schools came out during the Democratic Primaries, as did the Reverend Wright issues, his associations with Ayers, etc... Nary a word was spoken about Romney's religion during the Republican primaries last time, nor will it be in 2012. The Mormon contingent is too strong in some states for other candidates to make an issue of it. Plus, you have to remember the Beck contingent. An attack on Mormonism would also be an attack on Beck supporters and listeners. Now, should Romney win the nomination, the left will have a field day. Not only to they get to try to discredit the GOP nominee, they also get to attack Beck, with little or no repercussions as the conservative Mormons tend to go Republican anyway. I can just see Jon Stewart going to town with this, not to mention all of the YouTube videos of supposed Mormon Ceremonies. |

Mr. Obama got elected with a religion that was somewhere between God Damn America, Buddhism and Islam. Voters can overlook/ignore religion. |

Looks like Daniels is a non-starter. No way he'll pass muster with the Too bad, considering the alternatives. |
