Romney Oklahoma Campaign Tackles Mormon Issue

Leaders of Republican Mitt Romney's campaign in Oklahoma are today circulating a memo that, among things, addresses resistance to Romney from some conservative Christians because he is a Mormon. Thad Balkman, former State House member from Norman who is working on Romney's behalf, sent an email on the subject.

The memo is from public relations strategist Mark DeMoss, who wrote, "As a Southern Baptist evangelical and political conservative, I am convinced I have more in common with most Mormons than I do with a liberal Southern Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic or a liberal from any other denomination or faith group. The question shouldn’t be, 'could I vote for a Mormon,' but, 'could I vote for this Mormon? After all, Mitt told me there are Mormons he couldn’t vote for (I presume Harry Reid, for example); and there are Southern Baptists I couldn’t vote for (Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, to name a few)."
