Why Some Mormons Don’t Support Romney in Arizona

Mitt Romney has had a hard time garnering support among social conservatives. But since he’s a minister in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, you’d think that unanimous support among Mormons would be a given. That’s not the case in Arizona, where strict adherence to Mormon teachings have led some to adopt libertarian views — and support Ron Paul.
