“If you can think of a single reason why he’s the Dim majority leader other than as a lure to Mormons toward the Dim party, I’d love to hear it.”
I can’t. The choice mystified me at the time, too. Still, as a conservative, I like it; he’s remarkably inept.
“And I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Salt Lake has gone after the FLDS with a vengeance now (but not before the Olympic there). We’ve all know about FLDS for decades. Why now, eh?”
I don’t know; frankly, I hadn’t heard that it was happening at all. Do you have a couple of articles where I might learn more? I know nothing about Utah politics. If they are finally cracking down, that would be nothing but a good thing.
“But I do think the Mormon vote and the public reputation of Mormons in general are in extraordinary focus right now.”
I agree. It has been interesting, as a Mormon, to be a part of that focus. If Romney wins the nomination, it will only intensify exponentially. Quite a nudge out of one’s comfort zone!

He's the Judas goat, intended to lead unwary Mormons onto the Dim plantation.

Stand in front of the mirror and repeat: "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille."
LOL. Mitt may make things interesting for the Mormon folk. I have the feeling that the Temple is so grateful for him saving them from global humiliation over the Olympics that they're prepared for all of this. It's that Scouting Be-Prepared thing. And Mitt's trying for his Oval Office badge.
