Well according to that poll, there are plenty of rightwingers who won't vote for a Mormon either so I'm not sure why you think they're any different than those on the left.If the American people are so stupid to not vote for the best candidate because of his or her religion then they deserve what they get. That sort of ignorance should not go unrewarded. It seems its the Left who has the most problems with a persons religion. In fact they often have problem with all forms of the Christian, and Jewish, religion.
But it's quite probably more a political issue than a religious issue with the Leftists. If they feel they can exploit a persons religion to advance their political goals they'll certainly do it. Isn't that true?
And if that poll holds true, it can cost Romney as much as 25 to 30% of his votes between Republicans and roughly half of Independents.
Another potential problem for the right is Ron Paul, who is leaving the door open to run as an Independent should he not win the GOP nomination.
