many LDS who agree with him on abortion, gay marriage (b/c a win on gay marriage will lead to a legalization of polygamy), socialism (United Order) and even racism.

"Many" is an ambiguous term. Mormons vote 4 to 1 Republican. And yes, there may be some Republican proponents of polygamy, but not a whole lot.

Mormons CLAIM to vote 4:1 Rep. They are more likely to vote for a liberal member of the Church than a non-member conservative.

And many of the LDS i know that believe the doctrines above were registered republican but still supported Abortion, Gay Marriage and social programs. Remember Mitt is registered Republican as well.

When I lived in Utah (Provo/Orem, I would say about 60-70% of the LDS I knew (in the several hundreds) supported at least one of the liberal views I mentioned. The support for abortion was higher in my ward in CA than my ward in Utah, and the support for polygamy and socialism was higher in Utah than CA.
