Should Religion Play a Part in Who You Vote For? This question was asked in my Senior Government class after being asked to read a long article on the Mormon presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. We had a good discussion in class, and though I got a few good ideas from others in the class, I'd love to hear opinions here too.
So, what do you think? Should it play a role? Or doesn't it matter at all?
EDA: and furthermore, do you find it acceptable that he seems to be running and hiding from his religious background, not willing to share or talk about it?

I have the exact same opinion, it seems in the US the candidates Religion can be more of a vote winner/loser amongst different communities, I think the trick would be appealing to voters across the spectrum of various different Religions.

Wouldn't you rather vote for someone who had more moderate views than say one of those extreme Baptist candidates though?, I'm not too up on US politics but I hope you guys get someone better next year .

It depends. Some may be more apt to actually vote for hte extreme and conservative candidates rather than the more moderate. If you are anti-abortion, you certainly aren't going to want to vote for ht emore moderate, pro-life candidate.
