A cousin of mine is a Mormon in Indiana (I know weird mix), and he said the very people who were hot for Romney in 2012 are leaning (not hot) for Bernie. Your post about the religion voters makes sense in this regard.

This is exactly why I love DU. People willing to share divergent insights.

Thanks so much for your post.
