That sort of non-committal attitude is best reserved for when one has actually already made a name for themselves.

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.

SO....you are essentially calling the majority of the state of Mass. idiots then?

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.

Baba,
I saw him on a network news show( i can't remember which one) saying that he was going to educate the united states on the mormon religion during his campaign. I could care less what religion he is, I was just wondering how people saw that hurting or helping his chances.

if we wanted an education, we'd go back to school. now, if he wants to explain how he's going to keep spending down, as well as taxes, and cut fraud and waste, i'd love to hear it!

I agree...don't see religion playing a huge role in his case. Now if he were to actually somehow get the nomination...he could have issues regarding same...I would hope not, in my opinion there is an endless list of reasons not to vote for him but religion would never be one...besides, if America will tolerate a Mormon, maybe someday a Wiccan?

yeah, maybe....wouldn't bother me. i don't think religion should enter into it. altho i have to admit that i wouldn't vote for a pat robertson type...bush imo is scary enough with his god told me to stuff. but i've always felt religion was a private deal, between every person and his or her god(s)..

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.
