More Presidential Politics

Here are a couple follow up stories that fit in with points I made a few days ago about Presidential politics. To quote myself, "Could racism and bigotry actually prevent an Obama win? Would anti-Mormon sentiment block Mitt Romney from rising to the top of the list?? Apparently, yes they can and would:

Forty-three percent (43%) of American voters say they would never even consider voting for a Mormon Presidential candidate. Only 38% say they would consider casting such a vote while 19% are not sure. Half (53%) of all Evangelical Christians say that they would not consider voting for a Mormon candidate.

And second, "things change." Here is a nice look back at poll numbers from January 2003:

Joe Lieberman……29%
Dick Gephardt……15%
John Kerry………..13%
John Edwards…….8%
Al Sharpton……….5%
Howard Dean……..2%
