As a long time Mormon FReeper, this is the first I've heard of this. If anyone has a link, do share! Jim has been nothing but great for Mormon FReepers, and also FReepers of other faiths. Hmmmm.... Not sure about Muslims though... ;-)
As for Romney, he is damaged goods at best, a Mass. liberal at worst. Not a good track record. Gov. Palin or Jindel is a much better pick for those who believe in small, limited gov't and promotion of good moral values in the public arena.
God bless your level headed and honest assessment. May others see the light on Mitt Romney as you have.
