Romney won’t pick Cain as his VP, for a myraid of reasons, the only benefit it would have is so Mitt could say he isn’t ‘racist’ when the media starts pointing out all the racist comments and history of the LDS church.
However, Mitt would lose some LDS support because there are a lot of older LDS who still believe blacks have the curse of Cain (no pun intended).
Hey, if Romney won the nomination; picked Cain as his vp; assigned Lds mishies night & day to "convert" Herbert. Perhaps it would fulfill the Mormon prophesied hopes: Somebody's skin color changing before our very eyes!
After all, there's at least 5 Book of Mormon verses which discuss how the "skin of blackness" is a "cursing" based upon their "iniquity" (2 Nephi 5:21; Alma 3:6; Jacob 3:5) and how when the curse would be removed, they would again become "white" (3 Nephi 2:15), which the Book of Mormon says is a "delightsome" color (2 Nephi 5:21; cf. older version of 2 Nephi 30:6):
Mitt Romney adheres to these verses...which the MSM will find a lot more to its liking to unearth at the proper time. (It certainly will trump a rock on somebody's hunting ground!)
Here's two of those verses from the Book of Mormon: * "And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceeding fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them." (2 Nephi 5:21)
* "...many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and delightsome people." (2 Nephi 30:6, pre-1981 versions...changed from unknown reasons in 1981 to "fair and delightsome")
