From a reader in Utah:
Jonah:
Something teh GOP leadership should take note of, which I have not
seen addressed so far, is the Mormon rank-and-file reaction to the
treatment we’ve been given by the GOP. For decades the Republican
Party was happy to have our support for their conservative agenda and
our reliable vote, apparently as long as we kept our mouths shut and
didn’t go rocking the boat. However, after having seen how Romney is
treated in many GOP circles, there are lot of Mormons who are feeling
more than a little put out with our own party. Of course, the Dems
need not wait a mass exodus of Mormon to that party since much of
their platform is still very objectionable to most Mormons, but it is
certainly enough to convince Mormons to either pull for a third party
candidate or simply stay home, thus putting Utah up for grabs in the
presidential election.
