All the coverage I watch about this - from the UK and the US side, make a really big thing about it being an election of firsts - either the first black man President, or female, or the oldest President.

I have noticed that the prospect of having the first Mormon President often isnt even mentioned, though I would have thought it was at least as ground-breaking as having the oldest man in there.

Is this because people dont regard him as likely to win it? Or because having a Mormon in there wont be so significant as some of the other precedents that might be set?

Its hard for me to appraise Mormonism in some ways as all religions seem equally absurd to me.
