Pam has a thoughtful post on whether Americans are conducive to Presidential Mormonism.
Here's another angle.
Have a look at the money (click under Romney). Notice anything?
Yup, it's Utah.
Now, should a President who has such a huge financial backing from a state that doesn't follow the Nation on so many issues (including hate-crimes, as recently documented on this blog) get widespread support?
NY will finance both sides of the campaign. So will California, which is hallowed "Reagan" ground, still, to some. But Utah ... Let's just say that Romney will be beholden to them, if he wins....
