I so agree with this. There is no one I like, and for the first time, I am totally apathetic about voting.

There were quite a few articles today and yesterday about Mormons and candidates who are Mormon (Romney & Huntsman), and a study by the Pew Research Center on Mormons showed that those who are LDS favor Romney over Huntsman.

Part of the survey asked about discrimination, and what really caught my attention is that those surveyed believe Mormons face more discrimination than Black Americans, but less than Gays/Lesbians and Muslims. The rough number from the responses is that Black Americans are discriminated against a third less than Mormons. I realize that is the opinion and perception of those Mormons surveyed, but REALLY? Pew did another study in 2009 that listed Mormons as 86% White; and when compared to the general population (not Black American) are more likely to attend college and be middle income ($50,000 to $100,000). This would be quite the survey to start a conversation about White/Heterosexual/Christian privilege in the United States.
