really how many people here are actual surprised that most people aren't willing to vote for a Mormon?
Actually, the polls say most are...
But I think that's misleading in many ways.
I suspect the 18% figure is probably more like 30%. But a lot of folks don't want to say it openly, because someone will scream "BIGOT" at them.
Someone who doesn't think Joseph Smith was talking to God any more than I do, but he thinks Romney can get him somewhere he wants to go.
I think a lot of Americans don't know what Mormons actually believe, but when they find out they are going to, "No, really?" WHich is why Romney avoids talking about his religion (which accroding to nearly all reports, is the only thing he actually sincerely believes in) and 43% of the electorate is unaware he is a Mormon.
