Dear Mr. Joseph Smith, Is it a good work to vote my conscience or must I vote for elder Romney?
Has anyone polled the mormon vote? Will the mormons vote their conscience or will they vote for Romney because he is a mormon?
I voted for Romney because he's a mormon = I voted for Obama because he is black.
In the 2008 Utah Republican primary, over 89% voted for Romney.
First, the vote is overly concentrated in a state that is already going to go GOP, so no electoral college help there.
Second, you are going to get as many or more anti-Mormon votes outside of Utah as you get pro-Mormon.
Far better to get the racist “Barack is black like me” vote, although you still aren't getting many party crossovers. The real money is in the “Voting black proves I'm very smart and not at all racist, aren't I so much better than you” vote.
Actually the vote was 94%
And a majority vote for Reid.
| Candidate | Votes | Percentage | Delegates |

| John McCain | 15,931 | 5.38% | 0 |
| Ron Paul | 8,846 | 2.99% | 0 |
| Mike Huckabee | 4,252 | 1.44% | 0 |
| Rudy Giuliani | 988 | 0.33% | 0 |
| Fred Thompson | 613 | 0.21% | 0 |
| Alan Keyes | 261 | 0.09% | 0 |
| Duncan Hunter | 211 | 0.07% | 0 |
| Tom Tancredo | 3 | 0.00% | 0 |
| Total | 296,061 | 100% | 36 |

Your chart is the entire state, my figure applies to mormons only.
mormons voted 94%
Jews overwhelmingly voted for the Catholic Turner over the Jewish Weprin because of Weprin’s liberal stance on gays.
Mormons should follow suit.
You should pray to know that Romney is the one true candidate. If the prayer comes back null then pray harder untill you know the truth.
P.S. the bible never tells you to pray to have knowledge.
