Evangelical leaders worry Romney's Mormonism could suppress conservative turnout

[merrily]

26. You would think evangelicals would worry more that Romney, Huntsman and Rubio may make Mormonism

seem mainstream.

Republicans and evangelicals made an unholy symbiotic relationship that served both Republicans and evangelicals very well, especially after Roe v. Wade.

Uber religion is part of the Republican myth, but, despite all the Republican chickenhawks, so is uber patriotism.

What could appeal more to an uber patriot than a religion born and bred in the United States of America?

Until lately, evangelicals have succeeded in convincing their flocks that Mormonism is Satanic, or close to it. So they politely close their doors and their hearts to those nice Mormon missionaries.

If, for political purposes, evangelicals now devote themselves to making Mormonism seem acceptable to their flocks. they may find themselves with less credibility and less in their collection plates within a decade or two.
