D.C. Third Ward Mormons would welcome Romney, even though most are Democrats

If Mitt Romney wins the presidency, one decision about life in Washington would be made for him: His church.

Well, kind of.They’re mostly Democrats, including the sort of Obama supporters Romney was secretly videotaped disparaging in his now-notorious remark about “the 47 percent” of Americans who don’t pay federal taxes.

But the Third Ward congregants don’t seem inclined to hold a grudge.
