JACKSON, Miss. - As one of 20,000 Mormons living in a state dominated by evangelical Christians, Van J. Bodin’s own life experience tells him what Mitt Romney is up against in the South.

Per a former Lds bishop's daughter, Tricia Erickson, who has written a book about Mitt:
"Mitt…held…offices of…Missionary, Missionary Zone Leader, assistant to…Mission President…,…Bishop and Stake President…You cannot attain the “calling”…to serve as Mormon Bishop or Stake President unless you are a thoroughly entrenched and obedient Mormon…"

The second Rome-ney has the GOP nomination in the bag, the Obama-MSM complex will endlessly repeat every weirdo mormon doctrine. All the idiot voters will be SHOCKED and that will give the election to Obama.
