This is a good article about LDS history but a bit of a strange approach to take in the beginning given that the modern church is almost scrupulously (and uniquely) opposed to political endorsements: they even famously refused to endorse Mitt Romney for president. I have visited Catholic and evangelical churches in New York, Texas and Wyoming which are far more openly political and partisan, a pattern which tends to be the case for most non-LDS religious organizations.
That was interesting and informative. Thank you!

Headlines like this are among the reasons LDS members feel so alienated from the Democratic Party in Utah
