A tinge of blue
Deseret News political editor Bob Bernick came up with some fun facts from pollster Dan Jones' exit polls in the recent election:• Barack Obama won over most of the independent voters — a good sign for the Democrats that an exceptional candidate can lure Utah independents their way.
• Mormons went overwhelmingly with John McCain for president, even after the GOP denied Utah's beloved Mitt Romney the nomination — in no small part because he is a Mormon.
• Congressman Jim Matheson and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Carroon, who both won landslides, provide a model for Democratic contenders in a red state.

There is a difference between voting for someone and supporting someone. I voted for McCain not because I thought he would make a good President, but because I didn't agree with Obama's views.
Mitt Romney on the other hand I agreed wth and supported financially. I gave to his campaign because he was the most knowledgeable about how to fix the economy.
I am a Mormon who could not in good conscience vote for Mitt Romney. He is a flip-flopper worse than John Kerry. His insincerety exceeds that of Hillary Clinton. He just sells it better than she does.
I liked McCain on his own merits, although I was not thrilled about his campaign. I did not vote for Obama, because his history showed indications of being too liberal for my tastes. However, he was voted in and I support him as President.
