"If he's LDS then how many 1st ladies will we have?"

One
but...
Like all good mormons, he'll have a couple of hidden wives in the basement...

Ha Ha.

I can joke about it, I'm a mormon, and have been teased all my life about how many mothers I had etc etc..

Recently our local paper interviewed me for an article on the mormons. Here is the link if you want to give it a look...

Some quotes on poligamy from the article...

"When asked about polygamy, many local Mormons vigorously defend the practice in the past as a fact of life across religions throughout Biblical times. "It is not a new concept we invented," Bishop Stan Gordon says.

It served its purpose at the time, they say, providing shelter and support for women and children, and driving up the Mormon population at a time when it was threatened. But it has been condemned by the church since 1890, they stress, and those practicing it today will be excommunicated.

Nonetheless, some say that if divine prophecy called on Mormons to take up the practice again — perhaps if there were a war and there were few men left at home — they would not reject the notion outright.

"I personally believe polygamy is about taking care of women and children," Jenny Hatch says. "It is more about providing for families than anything else.""

I don't get why modern christians get their panties in a bind over poligamy. Father Jacob had four wives and twelve sons who make up the house of israel.

I've known the Romney family my whole life. I grew up in Detroit, and they were some of the finest people in the world. If Mitt is anything like his father, and I believe he is also a man of integrity and strength, he will do well as president, and I plan to vote for him, and campaign for him.
