FAUX FRONTRUNNING:
Poll shows religion can sway votes for president (AP, September 10, 2007)
One in 4 people in the United States said in a recent poll that they would be less likely to support a presidential candidate who is Mormon, an ominous sign for Republican contender Mitt Romney.Yet the survey found two groups, atheists and Muslims, were even less likely to win votes.
Sixty-one percent of those questioned said they would be less likely to support a presidential candidate who did not believe in God. Forty-five percent said the same regarding a Muslim contender.
Which is why neither Mitt nor the Mayor can win the nomination. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 10, 2007 4:23 PM
Less likely doesn't mean they won't vote for the person, especially if they are going against Hillary where polls show 50% or more won't vote for her no way no how.
And I'll bet 25% is less than the % of GOPers who won't vote for McCain no way no how.

Like Mormonism, the blog isn't what it seems.
(Funny photos too.)
