From Talking Points Memo:

Herman Cain made an issue of Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith in an interview the Washington Times published Monday.

Arguing he’d make a better choice than Romney, Cain said that current GOP presidential frontrunner’s religion will be a problem with a large and important segment of the base.

“it doesn’t bother me,” Cain told the Times, “but i do know that its an issue with a lot of Southerners.”

Cain:

“I know the South and you have to win the South. Mitt Romney didn’t win the South when John McCain won the South and Mike Huckabee won the South. And I think that the reason he will have a difficult time winning the South is when he ran the first time he did not do a good job of communicating his religion.”
