“Has any president answered to his leaders in the church? I dont think so. You keep posting this over and over and over again.”
First of all, we have never had a devout Mormon president before. Secondly, all previous presidents belonged to groups that either weren’t hierachal or the president wasn’t devout.
Finally, I have posted this 3 times. That hardly constitutes “over and over”. Additionally, the verbage is slightly different each time.

MR. RUSSERT: I want to ask you about an interview you had with Sam Stone—Sunstone magazine. Here’s it on the cover. It’s a Mormon-based magazine. This is from November of ‘05, and it says, quote, “Romney sought advice from the man he admires most in this world, Mormon President Gordon Bitner Hinckley. The conversation eventually turned to whether a run for the presidency would be good for him and the church. The specifics of the conversation are, of course, known only to people who were there.”
Should voters be concerned that you were seeking input from the leader of the Mormon church as to whether or not you should run for president?
