[Ace's Dad]

I also remember Gov George Romney, Mitt s Dad going through the same stuff when he briefly ran for Pres. as well.

I don't think George Romney got anywhere near "the same stuff" as Mitt. I was a working TV newsman (please forgive me) during the campaign, was from GR's home state of Mich (again, please forgive me, I did move South as soon as I was an adult) and GR was such an imposing intellect that his faith didn't get in the way, IMO.

All that you said is true about GR. I grew up there when GR was Gov.
