Ok, if they are as conservative as you say why do they vote in lock step (94-98%) for Romney and over whelming for Reid.
They are already voting for Romney, so what difference does it make, what an unknown guy says or doesn’t say.
lds are not as conservative as they appear to be, they do have a successful PR machine however.
You are assuming that LDS people whole-heartedly are going for Romney - because he is LDS. This is a false assumption, like saying that Baptists, or Catholics are sheep, blindly following a candidate simply because he goes to the same church they go to.
I don’t like Romney, and I’m LDS. Why? Because I have no idea what Romney actually believes. Gun, Abortion, Gov’t mandated insurance, Illegal Immigration; he’s been on both sides of the fence.
I want to learn more about Santorum, but as this is areana of ideas; alienating any particular group is ‘stupid’. If a candidate were to attack your religion, would you vote for him? Or, would you simply withhold your vote because of that insult? Some will vote, others will withhold - so, the question is simple “What is gained by alienating millions of voters?”
