You didn’t answer the question. “… in your heart would you look at them and think … no … freakin’ … way?” You can evaluate them after the fact for reasons to change your opinion. But knowing nothing more than they believe the extreme ridiculous what’s your kneejerk yes/no on such a candidate. When you answer that honestly, you’ll know how people feel on a devout Mormon candidate.

Sure, as ScottB analyzed, it’s possible to look at some of those Mormon candidates and say, “hey … that guy doesn’t seem to serious about it” or “that guy compartmentalizes it and doesn’t let it influence his policy at all … ever” and that could serve to set them up in the equation as to whether they stand a chance at beating the incumbent. But that’s the second peak at that point.
