Takeaway Listeners: Mormons and American Politics

The Takeaway

[waitingforcorrection: invalid GUID, no audio attached] Yesterday we talked about whether voters are ready and willing to elect a Mormon to the White House. We launched our discussion by talking about whether we’re experiencing a “Mormon moment” of sorts — as we see the religion popping up in pop culture references and in our political arena quite often lately.
  
   We asked listeners whether they would vote for a Mormon and got quite a few responses. Jess Housekeeper from Utah called in, to say yes he would, but also to try and help clear up some common misconceptions about his religion. We wanted to ask Jess to join us to talk with us about some of the reactions we got from the segment.
