To the editor:

Apparently Mitt Romney’s being a Mormon was the least of his problems among the self-proclaimed pro-life folks in Kansas City this past week, but the coverage of that event reminded me of the difficulty that his religion seems to be for him among the voters he seeks to attract.

While I can understand people not wanting to vote for Romney (or any other candidate) because they think he’s flip-flopped on issues that are important to them, ruling a candidate out because he is a Mormon remains a mystery to me. After all, aren’t the Osmonds Mormon? Orrin Hatch? Bay Buchanan? Wilfred Brimley? Harry Reid?
