Just curious...

I asked him last night and he said he would not consider Romney's Mormon-ness but he thought that Romney was a little TOO conservative. Mr. GP is more libertarian than anything else and sometimes he surprises me. Not loving Romney was one of them...either that or he was trying to placate me during finals.

Sounds like he and I are on the same page then.

I differ with him on the Mormon thing. We had a Mormon Congressman here in Oklahoma for awhile -- he really hooked up Salt Lake City while hosing us. I can live with the differences in faith. That's not a big deal. It's the Salt Lake connection which bugs me.

Geeky, you may be right. Perhaps I should have said something along the lines of the nationally electable left.

Centaur, I don't agree with gay marriage. I really don't care about civil unions. I mean, if people want civil unions, i'm not gonna protest. I won't be overly upset if they aren't implemented, however.

Kevin, I think he isn't bothered by the Mormon thing because he himself is a member of, a, um, less "prestigious" religion than ours.

shiner, I think you may be right about nationally electable - I really do like Feingold though, he's been a fantastic senator for WI and I think he'd be fairly popular in the Midwest, although I don't know if he has national appeal.

That could be any religion... literally ANY religion

The only known legislation bearing his name = McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill, which "will take money out of politics."

Didn't work in 2002

Didn't work in 2004

Didn't work in 2006

And 2008 candidate McCain has already announced that he won't campaign under the terms of the bill he helped author, and will ignore and exceed the limits of M-F by raising his own funds - refusing federal funds.

McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill - big flop, praise Allah.
