Well, Part 2 of this three-parter was going to be a list of LDSDems who are candidates for various offices. However, Anonymous (anyone willing to take the credit can have it) did some of the work for me in a comment in my previous post.

The only name I can pull off the top of my head that aren't on the list reprinted above:
Rob Miller State Democratic Vice Chair and candidate for Davis County Comission - Sunday School Teacher.
In my Young Single Adult Ward (sidebar for Shaun -- we need a better way of describing the H-4), I know of 4 active Democrats, at least three of whom are delegates. There are several others who have confided in me that they "lean Republican" or that they are no fans of George W Bush (which is a start).
Stay tuned for Part 3 -- Why the Republican Party is not the party of the LDS Population.
