Not South Carolina, not this time. In the 2008 election, Romney was attacked about his being a mormon every chance the other candidates could get, and the primarily evangelical christian population hated the thought of Romney (a mormon) becoming the president. But not this year, now all the South Carolina voters care about is making sure the Republican candidate is someone who can beat Obama. Although some voters still admitted that they would rather their president share their same religious beliefs, many voters told the reporters that it was not a factor in the election, not when there is so much at stake. Adam Bach a 32 year old evangelical christian lawyer said, "people have become more comfortable with the mormon issue since 2008. What excites me about Romney is his experience in the corporate world and his recognition that the federal government needs to be cut down to size and reshuffled". FINALLY! People are interested in candidates credentials and their plans for this country, instead of their religion and how many times they have been divorced. Those things do not matter, and I am glad that people are starting to look past the candidates personal life and into their political ideology. Louise Quinn, 81 said it best: "his mormonism is irrelevant, I wouldn't care if he was an atheist!"
