Really, too igonorant a view to commment on effectively. Whoever "eddiewhere" may be, he certainly has no idea about Mormons' feelings concerning their leadership, the role of leadership in any aspect of their lives, certainly no idea about so-called "misguided" leaders. It never ceases to amaze me how many non-Mormons think they know more about the inner workings of the Mormon church than the members themselves. This ignorant response about Mitt Romney and his Mormon background is just further evidence of "superficial" knowledged.

He had good staff in the early states, but as soon as the genuine article (or at least a more genuine article) came along in Iowa, in the form of Mike Huckabee, Romney was blown away. Then, having ceded the moderate ground, he lost in New Hampshire to another genuine article, John McCain (who learned his own lessons about the dangers of pandering to the right earlier in his campaign).
It's no accident that the GOP race is down to three men who are clear about who they are: McCain, Huckabee and, yes, Ron Paul.
All of that was Romney's own doing. But he also was damaged by a factor over which he had no control and, to his credit, he didn't seek to mute--his Mormonism. In the Bible Belt, his faith is anathema. And yet when the head of the Mormon Church passed away, Romney left the campaign trail to attend the funeral in Salt Lake that may have damaged him on the eve of Super Tuesday.
It was a class act, one of the few in his otherwise misbegotten campaign. Rest in peace.
