John McCain.
From the Left:
McCain is currently in the position of having to select a VP running mate. There was speculation about Gov. Romney joining McCain on the ticket. Certainly any highly negative images of Mormonism in the media would present a significant obstacle to Romney in the American social consciousness, thereby hindering McCain from selecting a man who could be a rather popular VP candidate.
This was just a crazy thought I had in my crazy little brain. LOL

Hmmm. I see your point about Romney, but I think it would be a repercussion, not a deliberate act on the part of the state of Texas. They've been watching these folks for awhile.
