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.

In the simplest of terms: Romney is the person he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
Romney is a liberal because of his mormonism, in that sense that is how the presidency will be affected.
Because of who he is in the lds corporation their influence will be great on him.
The best thing is to learn about mormonism and then you will get a better picture of Romney.
