Ha! There you go. And if he's nominated, expect there to be some kidding about his Mormon faith:
Jay Leno would say, "I met Mitt Romney, very nice guy, and he also introduced me to his wives..."
etc.

Isn't it somewhat ironic?
He wants to legislative a traditional, mainstream view of marriage and belongs to a religious movement best known for an alternative view of marriage.   
Since he can't have multiple wives, he's not about to let gays get married.

How about Rudy Giuliani?

Could America elect someone twice-divorced?

How about Ronnie Reagan?  America elected somebody once divorced.  How many strikes are you allowed in politics?

Well, let's look to Wonder-Boy to find the answer to that one...

1) Whitewater
2) Juanita Broaddrick
3) Monica Lewinsky

...apparently 3 doesn't get you struck out!

As for Rudy, I'm not sure the conservative base is that much behind him.  He's somewhat liberal on a few issues, and that's no secret.  Though, again, if he were to win the party's candidacy, conservative talk radio would still have the "are the Dems a better alternative?" argument to fall back on.

That's a fair strategy to fill the time. It's not the kind of red meat needed to get really great ratings. Give the hosts a really good candidate to either support or oppose (it doesn't really matter), and listeners tune in news/talk radio. Give them boring, bland, middle-of-the road candidates, and some listeners switch to sports talk, or even music radio.
