Romne and being mormon
I have been reading about him in the paper recently, as well as watching him on tv. He thinks that being mormon will help him win voters. What does everyone else think? Is being mormon going to help, hinder, or be no factor as his presidental bid ramps up?

On the other hand, his being a complete idiot should have some pretty negative consequences.

 i don't know a whole lot about him.. as to his religion, it doesn't matter to me at all-i don't see where it would help or hinder. but that's my personal opinion. it does matter to some. i think people getting up in arms about the congressman who is a muslim using the koran to take his oath was asinine.

Chad, I wouldn't think that it would benefit him a great deal, but then again he got elected Governor to an ultra liberal state (Mass). Everything I have ever read about him seems to point to a very bright financial mind and keen sense of business. I think his relative anonymity, especially in the south would hurt him.

Thats kinda where im leaning kev, the guy seems bright but if this guy pushes his agenda of being a mormon, im not sure how these right wing people will vote for him.

maybe "agenda" was the wrong word to use Baba...but the guy is not too afraid to make his conservative feelings known. I know you may find this hard to believe...but the guy has been known to talk out of both sides of his mouth. Imagine that...coming from a politician.  Last edited by GPK : 02-13-2007 at 07:23 PM.

So far, I'm pretty sure the only thing that is believable from him and is not just sideways-talk, is the fact that he's a Mormon. The rest has thus far been nothing more than blatant pandering to what he thinks is the base he's trying to sway. Sam "Brian W. Spencer's least favorite human being in the world besides Pat Robertson" Brownback has a better chance than he does of becoming President....which is to say, still zero.

Mom: So, what kind of animals do you think we will see at the zoo?
Small boy: I think elephants and snakes... Mom? Are there also pretend things there, like dinosaurs and God? Mom: I think we need to have a talk when we get home.

Speak of the devil. There is a documentary about Mormons on ABC right now. A bit whacked out, at least the crew in Utah...Romney has only 1 wife so far.

it's much easier to trick a state in a gubernatorial campaign because most people don't really follow them to begin with. it's a lot easier to talk both sides in a state campaign when every national network doesn't pick up discrepancies, so being elected in a statewide campaign like governor doesn't hold the same sway when going to a national platform. so my comment has nothing to do with the people of massachusetts, but just with the fact that romney is going to be on thin ice when national media starts breaking him down.
