They won't - when Orrin Hatch (also a Mormon) ran in '00, he actually got some strong support from the Christian right, as many of the values of the LDS Church are similar to those of evangelical churches.

Whatever happened to the separation of church and state ?
I think that if he is running for office, he needs to keep his religious convictions private. I would not vote for anyone that put their choice of religion on the platform.
Gads, I am tired of all this religious right balderdash!
I don't care what anyone believes in or does not believe in, just do the job your elected for, and remember you are hired to represent ALL the people ...not just the ones that pray as you do!

I just listened to an interview with Romney and Wolf Blitzer. While listening to Romney, I kept picturing W's mouth moving along with Romney's voice. He's just another rich, stultified, oil-worshiping, all-hat-and-no-cattle, big-mouth opportunist. (Without the fake Texas accent.)

He has a chance. But I would not vote for him. Although I hate to go against the spirit of the last phrase of Art. VI of the Constitution, Mormonism is so silly that I would be unable to trust his judgment on substantive issues.

I don't think he or anyone else should be allowed to run for president after being a politician of anything.

Missourim 43, are you his campaign manager or something? You couldn't possibly come up with those stats off the cuff.
Anyway, I will judge him on his record not religion.
