Romney starting to lose support...from MORMONS?

"Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — perhaps the nation's highest profile Mormon — may have the support of many Mormons here, but Johnson sees little to like.

Johnson said many of her fellow Mormons are "not thinking for themselves. ... If they did, they would be supporting the one that supports the Constitution."

Johnson has a laundry list of complaints against Romney. She calls him a big-government conservative. She slams his foreign policy, especially Romney's stance that he'd be willing to bomb Iran."

i just don't see them voting for the likes of Rick or Newt...or any other candidate wrapped in the RW-evangelical cloth.

In the southwest it seems there is a direct correlation between Ron Paul support, and time spent in direct sunlight.
