Slight hijack...Do you think Romney's religion (Latter Day Saint) will hurt his chances at national office? Personally, I like what's he done to balance the budget in Massachusetts, and some of his educational reform ideas. I'd give serious thought to voting for him.

Yeah, it will hurt, but it'll depend on how its presented in the campaign. Thankfully for Romney, it hurts most among evangelicals, and I think they'll be swayed by his conservative nature.

No one thought that they'd ever elect a Catholic president...but it happened.

And it was a BIG issue to some people -- I remember comments like, "The Pope will be running the country."

He isn't going to run. He can't even get served at Cracker Barrel.
