I am not a koolaid drinker. My Mormon sample size is currently one, statistically invalid, but nonetheless a huge disappointment. It is true that Mormons are more conservative than average. But it is no longer true that they vote that way, they know Romney is a liberal but support him anyway. In some cases they hope he will veer conservative, in other cases they just don't care.
