This sentence made me chuckle:
It’s a family history they’re proud of, despite the fact that Mitt Romney has never come to visit.

My favorite is:
"In fact, Romney's great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, led that first expedition to escape not persecution but prosecution for polygamy, or what Mormons called ‘plural marriage.’ After polygamy ended, the family remained in Mexico."

So is Romney for or against non God-authorized plural marriage?

It doesn't really matter. Most American's are creeped out by the old-fashioned Mormon alternative lifestyle. Romney's direct descent from polygamy fugitives will not be something values voters can stomach.

I daresay most Americans now live that lifestyle on the fly.

Moot point, BC. There is no such thing as God-authorized plural marriage.

Precisely. The last ones were over a century ago.
