Greetings All:
I don't post much anymore, but I still enjoy watching the lively debates that tend to occur in the Campfire..... This article caught my eye this morning. ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/05/romney.speech/index.html ) I lived in SLC for 5 years while in college, and hence feel a bit of a kinship to the LDS faithful (although still, and always a Catholic boy myself....).
The question I have of any of the LDS folks on this board is; Does anyone really think Romney has a chance? Does anyone think any Mormon would have a chance? Seems like the mainstream would ultimately run against someone who is seen as being on the fringe, but you never know.
My personal opinion is for STRICT separation of church & state, but that's always a tall order to fill considering the fact that we are ALL ultimately guided/influenced by our religious/spiritual beliefs. What's your opinion? Could a Mormon ever be elected president? How about a Jew? How about a Muslim?
I just wanted to stir the pot a bit on this topic to see what becomes of it.....
