CNN had nothing to do the other day, so it got hold of several people they imagined represented various religions and asked them for their faith-based prediction for 2011. For whatever reason (maybe he was the only one who answered the phone), they chose Card to speak from the Mormon perspective. The brethren must be thrilled.
>>7. Mormons have delivered the vote for Republicans year after year, but the GOP would be wise to remember that Mormons don't actually belong to them. We noticed and will not forget Mike Huckabee's viciously anti-Mormon mockery of Mitt Romney during the 2008 campaign. If Huckabee is the Republican nominee for president, look for substantial numbers of Mormons to defect or abstain. Mormons are the key to Republican victory in many Western swing states; if Huckabee actually wants their votes, he'd better start mending fences now.
>>–Orson Scott Card, Mormon author whose books include "Pathfinder"
