Unfortunately , you are wrong.
Romney is a temple mormon, only 15% make it that level, one of the highest of the high.
Your friend may very well be conservative (there are conservative mormons), mormonism is not as conservative as it appears (however you might wonder why they are supporting a liberal).
I know this because my sample is hundreds.
As it stands now mormons will vote Romney at a rate of about 94-98% depending on the poll.
My mormon family and friends support him without question and 100%, they firmly believe that he is called to be president, it revolves around a prophesy of Joseph Smith.

My Mormon colleague also has a temple card along with a concealed carry card (showed me both). I will take your word that they are not as conservative as mine appears to be or as conservative as he thinks the rest are. I didn't dispute the fact that they will all vote Romney, I have pointed out that they all voted for him in the primary. They are the reason he is the nominee.

My question still hasn't been answered. What are the actual practical consequences of a Mormon President, if any. I know the consequences of a liberal like Romney (with some ambiguity since we might get some better Supreme Court picks). I also know the consequences of a socialist. I am concerned that the socialist Obama could take the country past a point of no return. I think it is a relatively low risk, maybe 30$ OTOH there is probably a similar risk that Romney can poison the well for a conservative resurgence since the press will call him a conservative. There are also many wild cards independent of either candidate.
