Catching Mitt

Despite high discomfort level with presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Mormonism, the GOP candidate’s ratings aren’t going down | Joel Belz

How many voters does insurance broker Frank Senger of Newport Beach, Calif., represent?

"No way will I be voting for Mitt Romney," he insists. A Republican and a lifelong Baptist, he abhors the thought of voting for a Mormon for president and says "there's more to it than just some prejudice. It bothers me a whole lot that someone that bright could fall for the stories about where Mormonism came from, and all that blather about the golden tablets. If he'll fall for that, do I want him in the same room and at the same table with Kim Jong-il of North Korea or Ahmadinejad from Iran?"

Senger also wonders about "why Romney's changed so many of his positions on key issues. Just seems a little too convenient at this stage of the game for him to become so conservative all of a sudden on abortion, on homosexual marriage—even on some economic issues."
