Surely they'd vote for a mormon if it stopped the black, Kenyan muslim getting a second term.
Don't bank on it. There are as many reasons for the right to hate Obama as there are right wingers and it's only certain groups that think the above about him. For the most part they're in states that would give all their electoral college votes to the Republicans whoever they put up. Most of the evangelicals are in Kentucky and above rather than the south proper. They're the ones that aren't going to vote for a Mormon, and their votes decide Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and places like that.
Expect shenanigans at the republican convention when, despite Romney having the clear majority, they try to launch a party unity candidate. That's what my wingnut friends in deepest darkest Mass are hoping for.
