Romney

From the Rocky Mountain News via the Corner...
I queried two Coloradans attuned to the political attitudes of conservative Christians: Bill Armstrong, the former senator and president of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, and Earl Waggoner, a professor at the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Centennial.

Tell us, gentlemen: Is Romney's Mormon faith a bridge too far for evangelicals?

"I have never encountered anyone who said they couldn't vote for Romney because of his faith," Armstrong replied with his customary bluntness, although he was quick to note that he personally wasn't backing any candidate for the time being.
Well I'm sure I don't know as many people as Bill Armstrong, but I have encountered people who said they couldn't vote for Romney because he was a Mormon. And these people are loyal Republican voters.
