He is not going to be able to count on most of the LDS hispanic votes either, most of the hispanic members of his church feel betrayed by his position on illegal immigration, the LDS church is the fastest growing among the hispanic community in the US and in Latin America, to have a Mormon president who has no empathy or sympathy for their cause is an insult!

Romney has shown great leadership and business sense, which is something this nation needs, regardless of his religion. However, what this country needs more than that is a strict Constitutionalist who will return to the vision of our Founding Fathers which made this country great. That track record is owned by Congressman Ron Paul, not Romney.

I can't help but wonder which would be the bigger story - LDS congressmen not flocking to Mitt Romney, or them all sticking together to vote for him? This is proof positive that the Church doesn't dictate what its members believe or how they vote.
