...Texas hold their primaries, Clinton is counting on recouping whatever ground she loses over the next few weeks. Ohio is a state in economic distress, and has large numbers of blue-collar Democrats, who have been her strongest supporters. Clinton also expects to draw upon institutional support from organized labor. In Texas, her strategists say, the large number of Latino voters will give her an edge, as they did in California. If the race continues to be close, the last big contest, Pennsylvania's April 22 primary, may well be the decisive...

Although in more recent decades LDS adherents have acquired a reputation for conservatism, Mormons such as Stewart Udall (Secretary of the Interior) and Esther Peterson (Department of Labor, Women’s Bureau) have served the country in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations. In January 2005, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others organized the Mormon Democratic Congressional Caucus in hopes of tapping into this progressive tradition of politics among Mormons...
