U.S. News and World Report has an interesting story on how Ron Paul is competing with Mitt Romney for the Mormon vote:
“You cannot grow up in the church and not hear of and be taught that the Constitution is an inspired document,” says Connor Boyack, a Mormon who heads the Utah Tenth Amendment Center. “And when it comes to who best supports and defends the Constitution, Ron Paul is that guy.”
The Paul campaign has set up a Facebook page for his Mormon supporters and has been touting prominent LDS endorsements. Paul also defended Romney on the Mormon issue during an appearance with Jay Leno during the 2008 campaign. The two candidates are hoping to do well in Mormon-heavy Western states like Nevada in the coming weeks.
