In an interview with Meridian Magazine, Sen. Orrin Hatch says Mitt Romney's candidacy represents "the only real chance" for a Mormon to ever become president.

A good percentage of the people think that Mitt can do the job for this economy and get us back on our feet. I have no doubt he’s the only one who can do that.

It’s also important for Mormons because this is the only real chance for anybody of our faith to become president of United States. Mitt has come a long way, and I believe he’s going to win. People don’t realize what a long drudgery it is to run for President. He’s earned a lot of respect all over this country. Those of us who are LDS, other than my friend, Harry Reid, are all behind Mitt.

What a stupid comment. And contrary to what Orrin thinks, there are many Mormons, including me, who are not behind Mitt. We think he is not representing our faith very well. All the lying, obfuscation, and strategic misrepresentation his campaign has generated are not indicative of the way we as Mormons are taught to interact with others. Hopefully someday we'll have an honest Mormon run for president. Then perhaps we can have a more appropriate "Mormon Moment." As for Orrin, his comments of late prove that he is no longer quite as sharp as he once was. He needs to retire and go play with his grandkids.

You don't think Huntsman ran against Romney during the primary from the same demographic base because he thought Mitt would do a *good* job, do you?
