Reply #23: I have said from the beginning that Romney [View All]

will not be the nominee. The evangelicals are the core that the candidates cater to. They are also the foot soldiers and the most enthusiastic. I speak from first hand experience because I live in SC and have been around them for years.

Romney has the added burden because of his record as Governor of MA. They do not forget or forgive.

They have always regarded Mormonism as a cult or worse. They aren't fond of Catholics either. If Romney does somehow get the nomination, watch out! They will rebel and go their own way because their Gawd tells them to. Huckabee, Palin, and others could slip in to a 3rd party. Their religious ideology guides them, and it is rigid. Casting a vote for Romney would be tantamount to betraying their faith.
