Ghost(s) Of Romney’s Past

On the campaign trail, Mitt Romney has been working hard to comfortAmerican voters with his Mormonism by calling polygamy “bizarre” and cozying up to major evangelicals like Rev. Jerry Falwell, Rev. Franklin Graham and Paula White.  Although, it looks like he’ll need the Ghostbusters to deal with the now known fact that two of his great-great grandfather’s each had 12 wives.

Prior to this revelation, he may have been able to cloak his faith with strong repudiations of its “bizarre” elements and jokes like “I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman … and a woman … and a woman;” however, now it looks like he’ll have to give a major speech reminding everyone exactly what role his faith plays in his life.  I’m actually pretty sure he’ll be able to get past this Mormon issue.  To be honest, I think Romney’s campaign has much bigger issues…like the fact that he’s not gaining any real traction yet.
