Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney touched on his Mormon faith on Friday to a mostly evangelical audience of social conservatives as he and other Republican contenders in the 2008 White House race tried to woo them at a Washington gathering of "values voters."
Some evangelicals are throwing their support behind Romney who said he would be a "pro-life president," but his biggest weakness in the view of some analysts is his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Mormon religion is formally known. There are varying opinions on who people will vote for based on their faith.
"There is no way that I can vote for a Mormon. I'm a Southern Baptist and I've always been taught that Mormonism is a cult," said Filipe DaCosta, a supporter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a staunch evangelical conservative due to speak on Saturday.
