The Democrats need to start making inroads with Mormons and start now.
If Evengelicals are smart they will quit attacking Mormons and work to create a more permenent alliance to help fight for common issues.
There was talk among some of my fellow Romney supporters, who were mormons, during the priamary of preventing Mike Huckabee from becoming President(if he got nominated) by sending Utah to the Democrats and thus proving to the GOP there importance. At the time I just ignored it as idle Talk but I do agree Mormons are open to voting for Democrats.
Interesting. I actually wondered if that could turn some Mormons away should he become the nominee. For example, what if the GOP primary ended up like the Democratic one, with Huckabee and Romney fighting it out for months with Huckabee barely winning in the end? Assuming Huckabee's comments about Mormons that were somewhat offensive continued during the process, and if Obama nominated a Mormon running mate (Yeah, I know there weren't any possibilities this year though there should be in the future), how would Mormons vote?
Anyway, they're already a crucial voting bloc for the GOP out west. The Democrats making inroads with them could be a death sentence for the GOP in states like Colorado and Nevada.
