Not sure whether to put this in politics or religion because it kinda falls into both.
We all know there are a lot of right wing, evangelical groups that are extremely conservative. We also know that a lot of them don't like Mormons and don't think of the LDS church as a legitimate Christian church. However, during the 2008 election, they were generally able to get past their own hatred of Mormons simply because the Republican candidate was Mormon. One of the better known examples of this is Billy Graham removing Mormonism from his website's list of cults.
Well, the election is over and the Mormon lost. Now things may change. A lot of those evangelical Christians, had Romney won, would have started accepting Mormons as just another branch of Christianity. Since he lost, he's kinda irrelivant. Worse yet (for Mormons, anyway), a lot of them may blame Romney's loss on the fact that he's Mormon. The hatred they had for Mormons before may get a lot stronger.
Do you think there will be political fallout for the LDS church because Romney lost the election?
