I didn't expect to like Mitt, but I thought I'd give it a moment and see how the game played out. I don't like many Republican candidates, mostly for their pro-business stance and inclination to benefit the wealthy instead of regular people, and definitely I oppose their social issues.

I initially said "hells yeah" to the thought of an atheist in the White House, but then came across the post talking about fervent anybody being disturbing, and that was even more right.

My big question is if you can step outside of your personal beliefs and do what is best for *all* citizens, many of whom will not be in your religious or spiritual camp. I was willing to gamble on John Kerry, though he's a Catholic ( a religion I can't get behind very well at all) but I thought he could keep religion and politics separate and govern for *all* citizens.

So will I vote for Mitt? Not likely.
