Re: GOP Debate Thoughts
I don't have a problem with Mitt Romney's Mormonism, but unfortunately it's pretty clear that a lot of people do. When you ask likely Republican voters who they would never vote for, Romney gets the highest response by far. And many of them point to his religion as the reason they won't vote for him. It's kind of sad, but the fact that he's Mormon does actually work against Mitt Romney.
It's too bad because although I would vote for Obama or Edwards before him, I wouldn't mind having Mitt Romney as President and think he's much better than the other candidates. Part of this, of course, is because I think he's probably a lot more centrist than he's trying to portray himself to be.
Incidentally, how the hell is Hillary Clinton still leading the polls? If it came down to a contest between her and Mitt Romney, even I would hesitate to vote for her. Hopefully something changes before primary season starts because unlike her fellow candidates, Hillary Clinton has no room at all to improve in the general election.
