Obama wins Utah!

Post by _karl61 »

Utah has made big strides in 30 years - 1978 being the big year: one small step for the civil rights and one giant leap for the LDS church.

What do you suppose the ratio of Mormon/exmormon/nevermo was within the Democratic electorate?

If you think about it it makes perfect sense--the priesthood might have been extended past racial boundaries, but not past gender ones.

Well, which person would get the priesthood first in Utah? Obama? Or Hillary?

That was a tough call for Mormon Democrats... a woman or a black man... hmmmmm

Women should not hold positions of power and black men were not valiant in the pre-existence..

Romney received over 90% of the Utah Republican vote. The members showed up to vote in herds.
