The irony is beautiful.

Unless something happens (scandal!), I think Mitt will be the GOP candidate. You can hold me to it.

No the SBC certainly doesn't run the South -- only parts of it. (Just kidding.) And I know many good people who are Mormons as well.
But I also know many more Baptists and other evangelicals who consider Mormonism a cult, not that far from Scientology or Jehovah's Witnesses.
Check out
Gallup's Poll on the subject (9th one down, I think). 66% of those polled said America isn't ready for a Mormon president -- only atheists and gays did worse.
I still say that I will be surprised if the GOP nominates Romney.
