Most of our Presidents have been morons, so I don't see the issue here.
What's that? Oh, *Mormon*?
In that case ... who cares?

If you look at the polls, around 40% wouldn't vote for a Mormon candidate, so he has that going against him. It's unfortunate. Voters shouldn't automatically disqualify a candidate based on religion.

Hopefully not, but you know those mormon-haters...some would rather see a corrupt jerk as president as long as it isn't a mormon. That's silly.
People should base their votes and decisions on the leadership skills and abilities, not whether the person is jew, mormon, catholic, atheist, whatever.

I think it will hurt him, but at one time not so long ago a Catholic president was unthinkable. Somebody has to be the trailblazer, it might as well be him.

Probably, even though the Constitution (last phrase of Article VI) says that he shouldn't be.

Seeing as we barely elected a Roman Catholic one time it will hurt him.

Maybe a little, but if he is conservative sounding enough for the party faithful, it probably wouldn't matter.

I don't think so. I at least want to believe that we are past that.
