HUGE EGO HEWITT SEZ....

After a couple paragraphs of wingnut sticky-wetness at the marvels of Romney's speech today, H.E. writes:
Did Romany convert anti-Mormon fanatics or secular absolutists? Of course not, but they are very few...

They aren't "very few," Hugh, not at all, as we learn from this AP article:
While Romney has been subject to some leafletting and phone calling pointing to religious differences between his faith and others, he has faced little outright religious bigotry or questions on the campaign trail.

Yet, in an AP-Yahoo poll last month, half said they had some problems supporting a Mormon presidential candidate, including one-fifth who said that would make them very uncomfortable.

Fifty-six percent of white evangelical Christians - a major portion of likely participants in the early GOP presidential contests in Iowa and South Carolina - expressed reservations about a Mormon candidate.
