Would Mormons vote for a black man named Cain?

If Herman Cain was the republican nominee, that would create quite the conundrum for many TBMs.

But what size does he take in shoes?

Don't know why. I'd vote for him over any Democrat.

I actually like Herman Cain the best out of any of the other republican candidates. Based on what I know of his life and background, I would vote for him gladly.

I wonder if Mormons still believe that Cain is the bigfoot and that he is still hiding out somewhere - just like the three Nephites.

Mormons will vote for who they are told to and what they are told to vote for.

If its Cain versus Obama, they'll vote for Cain.

Some Mormons will vote for Cain just to prove to themselves they're not really racists.

I'll vote for anyone who will punish employers for hiring illegal aliens.

Anyone who voted for Obama thinking it would be great to have a black president or the first black president is a racist by definition.

No, just people who don't take voting that seriously, like those who voted for Bush because they thought it would be cool to have a father-son presidency.

But I assume you will extend that reasoning to all the Mormons who voted for Romney four years ago just because of his religion, right? Then again, maybe it's just a coincidence, and they all just happened to agree with his ever-changing stands on the issues.
