Wait. If we manage to get rid of McCain, maybe we can still get a decent candidate, assuming the RNC permits it.

I must confess, this is a new one on me. First I ever heard of it.

"I must confess, this is a new one on me. First I ever heard of it."

this story has been going around for weeks if not months.

Another case:

Romney was born in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua to Gaskell Romney (1871-1955), an American of English ancestry, and wife Anna Amelia Pratt (1876-1926), born to a New England and Scottish father and a German mother. Romney's grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States because of the federal government's opposition to polygamy.[3] Anna's father Helaman Pratt was the son of early Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt. Helaman had served as president of the Mexican mission in Mexico City before moving to Chihuahua State, and George's uncle Rey L. Pratt would be president of the Mexican mission, president in exile, during the Mexican Revolution and on into the 1930s. When the Mexican Revolution broke out in late 1910, Romney's family went to Oakley, Idaho, and finally ending up in Salt Lake City, Utah. Though some would later ask questions about Romney's eligibility to run for President due to his birth in Mexico, he was in fact a "natural-born citizen" due to the citizenship of his parents. Romney's parents married in 1895; they had three older sons, Maurice, Douglas, and Miles, and a younger son, Lawrence.
