Romney knew this and ran (and nominated judges) accordingly.
Something to respect? Certainly not. But the fact is that most Mormons are conservative, so there is at least some chance,that Romney,while being a very ugly, political animal, has some conservative values that he was willing to compromise for political advancement. Again, something to respect? I certainly don't. But one thing we are certain of is that Obama hates what the U.S. stands for.
Consequently I'll gladly take my chances with Romney. It's not perfect, but our 2 party system leaves us only 2 practical options. The fact is, that if you are eligible to vote and don't vote for Romney, you are doing your part to elect Obama.
Exactly.
He was governing a leftard state.
