Before you dismiss mormonism, you should learn what it is.
Romney is as high in the lds corporation as one can go without being one of the “12”.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
This keeps being said, but it just is not true. Has Romney been an Area President? Has he been in one of the Quorum of the Seventy? If not, then no, he is not as high as one can go before being in the "12".
