The Mormon Factor

http://news.yahoo.com/s/rasmussen/20061120/pl_rasmussen/mormonromney20061120_1

How far we've come from the days of discriminating against Papists... now to the days of discriminating against Mormons. There are two parts of this article that are of note: first is the obvious that 43% of Americans fear a conspiracy of...uh, Mormons? and thus won't vote for one. The second is the electoral kryptonite to Mitt Romney: "Half (53%) of all Evangelical Christians say that they would not consider voting for a Mormon candidate." Well, either Americans (and Evangelical Christians) really are jerks, or this was a really well executed hatchet job executed by Rasmussen on behalf of Bill Frist to move him to the top of the "Values" ticket in the GOP pre-primary.
