“You made comments to indicate that you were something of a reluctant Mitt fan.”
I am! The candidates we have right now are so weak they make me long for George HW Bush, and I never thought I’d say that. And whether you think it’s just some farce or not, I have given Fred a long hard look. But the whole thing has the look of a disaster in the making since everyone seemed sold on Fred before he had basically said or done ANYTHING in a political sense in the last several years. And he has lymphoma, like it or not.
I have the fear that this affection for Fred as a person- which I share- is going to propel him to the nomination and then around the summer of next year we’re going to find out he has to take chemotherapy or something like that and it will be a disaster.
I would be for Huckabee if he wasn’t so much in love with illegal aliens- at least Mitt is saying the right things about amnesty.
As far as your views about Mormons, I’ll take you at your word, but you’re the one that brought the issue up.

Mitt would be my second choice after Fred, honestly...but I don’t think he’s as electable vs. Hillary. He’ll lose 2% - 3% just for being Mormon, whether we like it or not.
