Mormon's aren't Christian from what I hear is the basic lament.<br /><br />BUT there has been a recent split the with evangelicals regarding environment so I am still unsure as to how strong their central core is to sway their grassroots.<br /><br />The recent fiasco in the newspapers regarding Romney and LDS HQ is not going to help matters either.Loyalist (with defects)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17928372020769470585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131983.post-2824865973052727592006-10-24T13:01:00.000-07:002006-10-24T13:01:00.000-07:00I’m surprised you think that of Romney’s chances. ...I’m surprised you think that of Romney’s chances. Sure, I think them slim, but I do see it as as a possibility. If, IF they can see past their notions of the LDS faith, he's there with the so-called values-voters, he has that political congeniality, and little of that Legislative aftertaste. Eh, we'll see.<br /><br />On Obama, I agree. He seems like the best choice for now, but I’m nervous Clinton will take the nomination, regardless. Also, now that he seems more like a willing candidate, it'll be interesting to see what skeletons are paraded out.Scothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350801865113852319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131983.post-83041529519388820732006-10-24T12:38:00.000-07:002006-10-24T12:38:00.000-07:00Even if Romney was "The Genuine" Mormon I hope all...Even if Romney was "The Genuine" Mormon I hope all of us are, politically speaking he doesn't have a snowflakes chance in Arizona in becoming the next US President.<br /><br />However, he did win the blue state MA as governor which is more than I thought possible.<br /><br />My personal choice is Presidential candidate Obama. He's moderate and seemingly sensible to the magnitude and complexity of issues being raised. I've noticed that the Political Machine has begun cranking out the "He's too young" or "What right does he have as a 1st year Senator" propaganda. He is about the Democrats only chance.Loyalist (with defects)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17928372020769470585noreply@blogger.com
