I heard it's just Romney operatives casting aspersions on potential competitors for the 2012 Repug nom.

Palin's the first to be "eliminated."

Also, the Mormon's massive funding for Prop 8 in California was an effort to get in good with the evangelical base who have always been suspicious of those wearing temple garments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_garment), but now, finding unified ground in hating the gays, perhaps Romney will BE THE ONE to run against THE ONE in an apocalyptic showdown (Tuesday. Tuesday! TUESDAY!) in 2012.

Or not.
