Yes. (And by that, hopefully, will put to bed — finally — the Great White Horse Hope — the false prophesy uttered by Latter-Day founder J. Smith that the constitution would hang by a thread, and that the Mormons would come to the rescue...this prophesy was believed by many, many LDS “prophets” over a 120-year history from Brigham Young to Ezra Taft Benson! Orrin Hatch mentioned it. BYU presidents mentioned it. Etc.)

I fear they will keep trying. They need to fulfill that prophecy to stop the hemorrhaging of members that has been going on for the last 10 years or so.
If not Romney, then Huntsman or even Reid on the Dem side.
Where are all the “clean living” Mormons when it comes to politics? They seem to be disturbingly easy to compromise, if not pulled clear over to the dark side. Where is the Mormon answer to Jindal, Huckabee, or Palin?
