An e-mail from Utah on that Mormons & Dems piece:

Salt Lake may not be a lock for Romney, but certainly BYU and Utah are. The link you posted to was on the BYU-Idaho college dems web-site, and I am certain that the college democrats are a very small group at BYU-Idaho (BYU’s little brother school). Further, some democrat lawyer in Salt Lake is not about to convince the great majority of Mormons that they are mistaken as to which party holds their same values on abortion. They know better.

And a Mormon from Dallas e-mails:

Not to get bogged down in Mormon theology, but that article you posted to oversimplifies a lot of our doctrines. Yes the Book of Mormon strongly asserts that we have an obligation to the sick and needy, but it also just as strongly (if not more so) teaches individual liberty and responsibility, and that no man should be compelled into action. In other words, we as individuals (not the government) have an obligation to clothe the naked, feed the poor and care for the sick. As for his comments about war, what is going on in Iraq is offensive in nature only if you believe Democratic dogma.

Okay, back to 2006….
