Mitt Romney’s visit to New Hampshire started on a sour note Tuesday when a restaurant patron declared he would not vote for the Republican presidential contender because of his faith.

"I’m one person who will not vote for a Mormon," Al Michaud of Dover shouted at Romney when the former Massachusetts governor approached him inside Harvey’s Bakery. Romney was kicking off the second of two day’s worth of campaign visits in the lead primary state.

Romney kept smiling as he asked, "Can I shake your hand anyway?"

Michaud replied, "No."

Michaud later told reporters he was not "a right-winger," alluding to some evangelical Christians who have compared Romney’s faith to a cult. Instead, Michaud stated he was "a liberal."

He said he planned to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., should she win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Can you imagine if a citizen said to Obama, "I’m one person who will not vote for a black man"

Or can you imagine someone saying to Hillary, "I’m one person who will not vote for a woman"

Or someone saying to Richardson, "I’m one person who will not vote for a Mexican"

Or someone saying to Edwards, "I’m one person who will not vote for a sissy"

The Mainstream Media would make that statement a week long story - They would imply this person was hate filled and obviously a typical right wing voter. They would hound that candidate and demand an apology.

But NOPE, because Romney is a Mormon and because he is a Republican the flavor of the story is to paint Romney out of the mainstream and Hillary as the obvious choice.

BTW - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a Mormon, but no one has ever questioned his faith, he a Democrat as you know.
