Mitt Romney based a large part of his campaign on stressing "Christian values." Yet, what if Christians don't think you're a Christian, and they hold your religious views against you?
In a recent poll, "50% of Americans said they would have reservations or be 'very uncomfortable' about a Mormon as president. That same poll found that 81% would be 'enthusiastic' or 'comfortable' with an African-American and 76% with a woman."

While I'm no fan of Mitt Romney's it's really shocking that in this day and age a candidate can be ruled out simply because of his religion. Except of course if you're Mike Huckabee and want to amend the constitution to comply with your religious beliefs and don't believe in evolution. That guy is still in the race while Romney, who has never proposed such ideas, is out. Go figure.
When I visited the Mormon's Temple Square in SLC years ago, the gal who greeted me and gave me a tour said they routinely have to deal with disruptive "Christian" who show up to picket or cause other troubles.
I just thought it was so ironic that one of the candidates pushing his religious beliefs to court Christian voters ultimately was rejected for just such views.
