"Of course, most if not all of those are Dems."

This Mormon would have to respectfully disagree. The Evangelicals are the base of the Republican party. I spent a few years working alongside people from other religions on social issues. I was amazed at how visceral the antipathy is toward Mormons among some groups, including those I worked with. I think I was the first Mormon some of these people had ever talked to. Although we developed a working relationship, it was apparent that it made them uncomfortable even dealing with me. When we invited some of them to Utah for seminars, they acted like they were entering some evil sanctum, or something. I fully expected them to show up for meetings wearing garlic around their necks.

Hunh! I have seen nothing like that here. But perhaps the Seattle area is different in that regard.

And this is my ONLY point here.

People can argue about right and wrong and theology all day long, when it comes down to the fact that Romney won't fly for this reason.
