Romney poised to win another state Saturday (AP)
4 February 2012
<snip>Even Mormon Democrats in Nevada claim Romney as a point of pride.
The LDS church has the same affinity toward Mitt Romney as African-Americans feel toward President Obama, said Democratic state Sen. John Lee, referring to the churchs full name, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We dont look at him as the governor from Massachusetts. We dont look at him as the leader who saved the Olympics. We look at him as a man who knows what the values of our church are.
The church stresses political engagement, urging its members to play a role as responsible citizens in their communities, including becoming informed about issues and voting in elections, according to its website.
The libertarian Texas Rep. Paul, who took second in Nevada in 2008, has been courting Mormon voters for months, setting up a Latter Day Saints for Ron Paul Facebook page, holding special phone bank hours aimed at registered Republican Mormon voters and sending out frequent campaign emails highlighting his Mormon volunteers.
