Interestingly enough, in the few moments before I saw where the link in the article had taken me, I found myself thinking “okay, now Romney is a Baptist, that is okay with me.” I’d still vote for Romney, no matter what religion he is, because I want his brain in, or now near, the White House. If this was true he would certainly lose some (but not all) of the LDS vote, but wouldn’t he pick up lots of Baptists because he was now “saved?” Yes, that is a question, not a statement, because I am not sure but am wondering. Wouldn’t he then be the shoe-in for vice-president? Or would the evangelicals hold his previous membership against him? Or, third possibility I wonder, even though the conservatives at the convention accepted him as one of their own, is he truly too far left for the evangelical community? (He is certainly not very far left. If he is truly too far left I’m afraid the religious right is going to have to start their own party, they are really way out there.) Lots of questions, not sure what the answers would be.

Thanks for the interesting thought exercise.
