Romney Revisited

Powerline calls the LA Times to account for unprofessional practice on a Romney poll/story. The paper did not release the underlying poll until a few days after their story ran and the two don't square:

The story also neglects to mention that, while half of the Democrats who expressed an opinion said they would not vote for a Mormon if all they thought about was religion, independents and Republicans showed less prejudice. About 60 percent of independents who expressed an opinion, and more than 70 percent of opining Republicans, were prepared to vote for a Mormon even if they thought only about his religion. Thus, Romney's religion would appear to be less of an obstacle to his nomination than one might infer from the Times' story, which quotes a political science professor who states that religious-based resistance to Romney "among Southern Baptists" could be a "huge problem.
