I've met with high level leaders of the church. So what? President Clinton met with high level leaders of the church during campaigns. But Utah is the only place in the nation where Clinton came in third, behind Perot. The church leaders allow lots of courtesy calls.
The governor of Utah is a stalwart member of the Church. His grandfather was a general authority. He has endorsed McCain.
Stories like these are all nasty innuendo.
PS. I have been against Romney's candidacy for this very reason. I don't think he can win because the evangelical base will either oppose him or stay home. But, in the meantime, the church will take all kinds of undeserved shots.
