Mormonism

With all due respect to religious freedoms, I think national politics is not quite the thing Mormons have training in their childhoods to be able to embrace a world where social media
reigns over most public spheres.
Mormonism generally trains members to be so privately devout, that they do have to have more
of a game face than an 'open' face - even during political campaigns.
Governor Huntsman tried mightily, but never seemed any more 'everyman' than Governor Romney.
Today's campaigns are incredibly facial, and 'body language' visible.
Religious devotees don't find those things developmentally positive in their lives, aside from their
evangelism.
Politicians, however, have to turn themselves over to publicly quantifiable visibilities.
Some lifestyles require the leap to be nearly insurmountable. Mormonism may be one of those
lifestyles because it proves to be more than a religion in the lives of most of its members.
Finding a lapsed Catholic is quite a bit easier than finding a lapsed Mormon.
