You'd hope so, in a way, eh? But it's amazing, if you look at the number of people who say they'd never vote for a Mormon - it's far higher than the number who say they'd never vote for a woman, or for someone who's 70 years old, or for a black person, etc.
But it's not because he's Mormon that I think Romney is the easiest Republican frontrunner to beat in the general elections... it's because he is a soulless, unprincipled, flip-flopping Powerpoint candidate who's thoroughly failed to gain any kind of cross-over appeal over almost a year of campaigning.
In comparison, Huckabee at least is likable, has charisma, and has shown the ability to quickly move up in the polls among independent voters too as soon as he got more media attention. But Huckabee should nevertheless be beatable as well because he commits gaffe after gaffe and like you say, because he's just too much a religious fundy.
The Reps should go with McCain if they want more of a chance...
Well all that's my two cents of the day, anyway :wink:
