Primary source
As we stagger through Super Tuesday, The New Republic's blog The Plank offers an outsider's primer on Utah's primary:
"Because Utah is heavily Republican, Democrats don’t usually spend a lot of time campaigning here, even in the primaries. This year, however, the Democrats are waging an aggressive campaign: Barack visited the state last summer and Michelle Obama recently campaigned here, while Clinton sent Chelsea to the Beehive State last week. It’s the Republicans who have pulled back from campaigning for the primary, by and large deciding it isn’t worthwhile to take on Romney here."

The primary excitement has reached Britain, where, if you need one, the BBC offers a primer on Mormons. But the Brits learn at the Missionary Center in Chorley that they won't get any voting guidance: Ask anyone about Romney and you get a poker face. With the church having a strict doctrine of political neutrality, endorsement, even of the personal kind, is out of the question.
