What is being overlooked here is that the absolute conviction of Romney and many of his supporters is this: It is pre-ordained by God  that he shall save the US constitution that will be "hanging by a thread".

Salt Lake Tribune, Nov. 11, 1999,  an article titled, "Did Hatch Allude To LDS Prophecy?"

The article stated:

Sen. Orrin Hatch has denied his Republican presidential campaign is motivated by a longing to fulfill an obscure Mormon myth. But during an interview with a Mormon Church-owned radio station this week he borrowed the exact phrasing of the apocalyptic belief.

According to the so-called "White Horse Prophecy," the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread and a church elder from Zion will ride in on a metaphorical white horse and save it.

There will be denials of this by mormons, but check out this link for a listing of many statements and predictions of this  by mormon leaders Including George Romney:

“Anyone can look at the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith... Brigham Young and others.... I have always felt that they meant that sometime the question of whether we are going to proceed on the basis of the Constitution would arise and at this point government leaders who were Mormons would be involved in answering that question.”

I wonder ghow many people know that Joseph Smith had a long criminal record for running confidence games and swindling.

Yeah, an “angel” told him to dig up some tablets in his back yard that only he could translate.....

Oh, and its completely Biblical that someone can be baptized and redeemed retroactively decades after their deaths.

I’m gullible, I’ll buy anything </sarc>

Hey, they do have a great choir, though.
