And once that happens, fundamentalist evangelicals will be exposed to defenses of Mormons and Mormonism as an acceptable part of the big tent from sources they are heavily influenced by.

EAllusion wrote:Well, I am working on the campaign of a Republican candidate for president, so I guess I know a few.

TSM does not do interviews. He has not done one since his first new conference when he became church pres.
I think if Romney is president it will make little difference for the Mormon Church.
I think there are actually many EVS behind Romney and more will get behind him if he is the nominee. Course some never will. So I think your conclusion is incorrect other than perhaps the work religious. The group that holds the most antipathy towards Mormons is the seclular left. The Bill Maher types.
