I was never going to vote for Mitt anyway....

..but am I the only one who didn't know Mitt Romney's father and grandfather are from Mexico?

I had the TV on this morning at 5:30 and Giraldo was talking about this as if it was news to him.....(not sure I can beleive that!)

Senator Santorum proudly talks about his Italian grandfather fleeing Italy because of socialism and becoming a coal miner in the US.....and remaining so until he was in his 60's....

..but I never remember Romney mentioning his roots.....or his grandfather.

Am I the only one.

You are not the only one by a long shot. Romney doesn’t mention it for a couple of reasons not the least is because his ancestors fled the US (like many Mormons) to avoid prosecution for polygamy.
