RE: Bidirectional Concerns of Influence

Comment comment by Brandon on 06 February 2008

I think you're missing the fact that Utah also has a Democratic primary - and I'm willing to bet if Harry Reid was involved, he would get similar numbers.

No no ... I didn't miss that. There is no stark polarization of religion on the Democrat side in Utah. According to the same link, Obama took 57%, Clinton took 39% and Edwards took 3%. That's much more "typical" for a voting system without external influence. The sheer admittance that "if Harry Reid was involved, he would get similar numbers" only confirms that the vote is going Mormon for Mormon as opposed to Mormon for best candidate. It would be an even greater affirmation if Reid was part of that vote because he is clearly not viable in this race.
