This is interesting....
The Salt Lake Tribune has an interesting piece on the tension between Utah conservatives and religious conservatives elsewhere in America.
While Utah conservatives are a consistenly loyal voting block, they never have felt comfortable with the national Christian conservative movement, in large part because Christian conservatives, at least those who know much about mormonism, don't consider mormons to be Christians. Thus we have a group who politically believes in the same goals but religiously are dramatically different. On the other hand, I feel that mormons shun the Christian conservative movement precisely because they feel their faith is superior to mere Bible-belt Christianity. After all, they have the "fullness of the Gospel".
