“Go ahead, give percentages, NONE of them are CLOSE to the 89+% Mitt got in Utah. None.”
____________________________________________

Oh, so now it's the extent of the majority percentage giving Romney the win in the respective States that's the important thing?

So what you're saying is; you have no problem with the other States I mentioned giving Romney the majority of votes in the primary...just Utah? Fact is, whether Romney won a State by one percentage point or 30, he still WON that respective state!

How is it you're able to divine what's in the hearts of Utahans who voted for Romney in 2008, but not those living in the other States who gave Romney the State Caucus/Primary wins? Again, if Mittens were to have won the 2008 primary, the 52% who voted for him in Maine, would've had the same effect as those 90% from Utah.

You know very well I wasn't equating Catholics with Mormons, I was making a point that you conveniently didn’t mention other states that went for Romney in the Primary based on their majority faith.

And please, I don't need you to lecture me on the particulars of the LDS faith. I've looked at ALL of the 26 Volumes of the Journals of Discourses, Mormon Doctrine, Articles of Faith, History of the Church yada, yada. I've debated the LDS ad Nauseam for several years.

The bottom line is, you have a problem with Utah who gave Romney the majority of votes in the 2008 primary, but not the other States who also gave him a victory. You claim to know what's in the hearts of Utahans, but curiously are silent on the other states who also voted majority for Romney.

I was adressing the point that Utah will again go for Romney and the reason is his Mormonism.

Percentage does matter because it shows the identity politics of Utah at work. He didn’t win by that much in any other state and unless he drops out he will win Utah again by a large percentage this time. The other states voted for him within a reasonable percentage, Utah did not.

IOW, Utah is not in play.

So what we can divine from this is that Utah is about +40 to Mitt.

Also meaning that ‘Utah voting the most conservative’ is complete bunk.

Why not make a friendly wager. If you believe that Mitt will lose the Utah primary, I can wager that he will. You up for this?
