They are done massaging it. What they don’t want is for it to come out now. They want Rommie as the GOP candidate. Then they launch the smears.
Oh yeah, Team Obama (Obama,DNC,MSM)Media who refused to cover Jeremiah Wright, WILL cover all manner of Mormon weirdness, 24/7 once Bishop Rome-ny gets the nod. Rome-ny’s approval will be in the 30’s by October.
It's SO sad. I won't vote Democrat but I cannot vote for Bishop Romney. I cannot.
