Quoting lurkitty:

Hopping over to the Republican camp, there is an interesting debate going on about Gov. Mitt Romney. He has been widely touted as a Presidential candidate in 2008, but has begun to meet a great deal of resistance from the Evangelicals due to the fact that he is a Mormon.

It appears that Evangelical Christians do not consider Latter-Day Saints to be Christians, even to the extent of excluding them from the National Day of Prayer in 2004. Mormonism, along with Jehovah Witness, Christian Science and Unity, among others, are considered by Evangelical Christians to be a cults. Do the Evangelicals have enough sway to exclude Romney from consideration as a candidate.

If Mormons aren't good enough to be Republican candidates for President, will they continue to support the Republican Party? It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the weeks ahead.
