Although this isn’t the least bit timely, I read an essay on Romney today that I think may interest those who look at this thread (albeit more than a year after both the thread and the essay were posted). Here’s the link:

hey, i have a question. with mitt romney running, i wonder what the degree of political motivation was involved in the pbs program on mormonism.

I wondered the same thing. That and the release of September Dawn--It's just the beginning. I plan to sit back and watch the fireworks with interest.

Since Romney was repeatedly shown in the film, his choice to run seems to have been a factor in the decision to make the film, or the decision to air it, or both.

Colleen, if the First Presidency were really planning to violate its long-standing policy and do what you suggest, donâ€t you think they would have done it by now? >>

Possibly. At the risk of being thought of as a troll or "anti-mormon" I say as a fact that in the past the church has done extreme things to keep questionable parts of its history buried. I'd hope I were wrong, but seeing Romney suddenly drop out wouldn't surprise me.

Peace out... colleen

I think the first presidency will ask Mitt NOT to make a full bid. WAY too many skeletons in the LDS closet; a United States Presidential run by a Mormon would facilitate the need for top-notch spin doctors working around the clock JUST to stay on top of polygamy and Mountain Meadows. It would be disasterous for the church.

Of the top 10 reasons to elect Mitt, that is.

Don’t know why my post is in such HUGE print though! Yikes!

Mitt's doing better in this race, so far, than I expected: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070402/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_spending
