Although Mitt Romney has said that he will not take orders from the LDS (Mormon) church, it is clear that many Mormons are excited about his candidacy. He has received millions of dollars in donations from people in Utah, and many of them are Mormons.
I began to wonder if any of the so-called “General Authorities” of the church had contributed to Mitt. So I went to opensecrets.org to check. I couldn’t find any. I guess they’ve sort of figured out that would be too obvious.
But I was surprised to find that many of the children of the first presidency of the church (the prophet and his counselors) had maxed out their donations to Romney. (OK, I wasn’t really that surprised.) Details on the flip.
