Interesting article. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is a Mormon, and that hasn't hurt him in Nevada. Of course, a national election is different.

Without a doubt, many Southern Baptists will not be excited about voting for a Mormon. Mormonism is highly regional, unlike the nationwide practicing of Catholicism and Protestantism.

Joseph Smith was also an epileptic and I personally think that he used his "visions" and visitations-by-a-spirit episodes to help cover and explain them. He was also a horse thief. The Book of Mormon is written with grammatical errors throughout. The territory they staked out in the west was patrolled by pony soldiers. They even bred a horse with a bigger lung capacity to go the distances. Oftentimes wagon trains and other pioneers had to sneak or fight their way through the Mormon territory to get to California. Lincoln not only had to deal with the secession of the South, but the threat of secession of the Mormons and their territory as well.

p>I grew up with Mormon girl friends and spent many slumber parties listening to them talk about their life's goal -- getting married in the temple. I always thought that was sad. br> -- Sue Ellen Hirtle br> Eagle, Idaho /p>
