Mitt & Mormonism

So "Magic Underwear Mitt" will be addressing us on how reasonable Mormonism really is? What a laugh. Funny that anyone really thinks that this will help. Go read up on Mormonism and you'll find it hard to see how keeping people's attention on his faith will help him. The polls from a while back seem to show only about 1 in 4 claim that they wouldn't vote for a Mormon (compared to a majority -- 53%, who wouldn't vote for an atheist), but I think these numbers are always too low because of socially desirable response bias. I just don't think the majority of Evangelicals will vote for him.

The RR still doesn't know quite what to do: back the serial-adulterer Giuliani with a liberal track-record on judicial appointments, Mormon "Magic Underwear" Romney -- someone they know only became "pro-life" 5 minutes ago (both he and Giuiliani fit into this category), or someone they know will not win? Dobson swears he'll choose the latter.

Giuliani isn't just involved in a scandal over using tax dollars to finance his extramarital affair; he's also got a brewing scandal involving his ties to terrorists. I really think his campaign is done, kaput...or else people are ignoring the mounds of dirt on this guy. See TCR's summary of Giuliani's worst week ever.

I don't think that there is anything comparable on Mitt's side, aside from a few gaffes and some reversals; no substantive corruption, but it may come out later. On the other hand, dirt on Huckabee is piling up, and he is looking dirtier all the time: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
