[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No southern Republicans that I know have a problem with Romney being a Mormon. In fact, he gets high marks for being a person of faith and a "good family man." I'll add that I think Obama is a person of faith and a "good family man" as well. [/quote]

Fair enough, but you are probably not part of the Nutjob-American community.  Unfortunately, they exist.  The evangelicals are having a really hard time with Romney.  I think it's the worst reason to dislike the guy, but there it is in the polls.[/quote]

NP here (and personally a liberal Dem).  I'm actually happy to see the Republican party begin to divorce itself from the allegiance/dependence/addiction it's had to rural religious voters and their beliefs.  That relationship has pushed Republican policies into strange and scary territory.  If Romney is the candidate and the trend of divorce from the evangelical wing continues, then the downside for Dems like me is that (I think) the Republicans will become more competitive for independent voters, and thus will win more elections in the future.  But the upside is that they will be less like GWB and Rick Perry, who scare the heck out of me as a US citizen.[/quote]
