Some have speculated that Romney’s faith may have hurt him in heavily evangelical South Carolina, and Romney acknowledges that some religious conservatives may hesitate about him because he is a Mormon. “I’m sure that there are some in my party for whom my religion is a real stumbling block, who would prefer not to vote for someone of my faith. I understand that,” he says. “I don’t have a number or a percent for you. I don’t think it’s dispositive in the races ahead. I don’t expect to win every primary or caucus across the country, and there may be somewhere that becomes a bigger factor than in others.”
ReplyDeleteReligious prejudice, as with other forms of intolerance, is difficult to measure precisely as a motivating factor in voting, although Romney supposes that voters have long since factored in his Mormonism when considering him. “I think that people probably considered this of great interest during my last campaign,” he says, “and the great majority of Americans have moved on to my other more glaring weaknesses.”
