Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) Mormon faith isn't an issue for him in the Republican presidential primary, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) argued Wednesday.

DeMint, the conservative icon who endorsed Romney in 2008 but hasn't decided whether to do so again in 2012, said that Romney's religion might not be the hindrance it has been traditionally considered to be.
