Blog: Voters Could Go for Mormon
Some fans of Gov. Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential bid are not too pleased with the recent LA Times/Bloomberg poll that said 37 percent of respondents nationwide wouldn't vote for a Mormon.
Writing on the ElectRomneyin2008.com blog, "JJF" makes his own analysis of the poll, taking a shot at the media's "agenda," the poll's methodology and in the end noting that religious concerns will abate as the campaign endures.
"The majority of any remaining objection will disappear as people evaluate Romney as a candidate and are impressed with his candor, accomplishments, and policies. In the end, I see the fact that Romney is LDS being the deciding factor for maybe 3-7% in a GOP primary and definitely less than 5% in a general election. This handicap will be offset by the strong grassroots movement and financial support that individual Mormons will give to Romney, especially in a swing state like here in Iowa."
See the rest here.
