So, as an active (and liberal) Mormon, I'm always heartened when liberal, or at least non-Glenn Beck-esque members of my faith have an influence, in the world, and would honestly like one to be a president (note; I also dislike Mitt Romney so don't suggest him).

But I just recently discovered an earlier solution to that problem, Mo Udall. What if he got the Democratic presidential election in 1976 instead of Jimmy Carter? Would he win the presidency?

I don't know much about this era in politics, and I only know Udall from his Wikipedia page, so how would he likely approach a full-blown (not just against other Democrats) campaign? If he won the presidency, what would his policies likely be? How would people react to his Mormonism (even though he wasn't very active around this time)?
