Related: About this forumRepublican enthusiasm gap due to Romney's mormonism
just because republicans are polling that they will vote for a mormon, it doesn't
mean they will actually get off the couch to vote for one. Evangelicals are
not enthused about Mitt Romney at all.

"Evangelical leaders worried that Mitt Romneys Mormonism could suppress conservative turnout are intensifying appeals for Christians to vote.
About two dozen prominent evangelical leaders issued a statement last month emphasizing conservative moral values over a candidates particular religion.
Influential Pentecostal publisher Steve Strang has also been working to get out the vote. He told a group of pastors last week that many churchgoers are having trouble setting aside theological concerns about Mormonism to back the Republican presidential nominee. Strang fears Christian conservatives will stay home on Election Day.
Romney is the first Mormon presidential nominee from a major party. Evangelical voters have said repeatedly in polls that theyd back Romney despite concerns about his religion. But Southern Baptist leader Al Mohler says that hypothetical question now faces a real-word test."
