millions of fundamentalists and others do not accept Mormonism as a christian faith,

Some folks are very strong-minded on that count, and keeping that discussion out of the press does nothing to change reality.

He said the line was long. Went there ay 830 and left at noon. Now Gwinnett is a Republican County, but the people in line happen to be the demographics that would vote Obama.

I early voted last week and waited about 45 mins. ( normally little to no wait).
Hopefully the Evangelicals stay home!
