Mitt's fundamental problem
Like China's Last Emperor happily agreeing to reign over a puppet state in Manchuria after being deposed by the Japanese, Romney is presiding over various local--and less desirable--Republican events on McCain's behalf...

Worse, according to a Deseret News report, the recent raid on that really creepy fundamentalist Mormon compound in Texas could destroy Mitt's chances to be picked for McCain's No. 2.

Kirk Jowers, of the U's Hinckley Institute of Politics says:

Unfortunately, the FLDS issue has probably elevated considerations about what Romney's faith would do to the ticket.
Many Americans, it seems, can't tell the difference between LDS Mormons and the FLDS, who take multiple wives, including underage ones. Add that to earlier surveys that found that many Americans are dubious of any kind of Mormon president and Mitt's got a problem.
