Do you know the expression, "drop the other shoe" ?

There is a possibility of Mitt Romney becoming the President of the United States.
What is there, about Mitt Romney that we do not know, as of yet ?

I found this, interesting-

Arkansas Court of Appeal Rules That "Mormons are Not Protestant"

When Joel and Lisa Rownak divorced in 2005 they agreed that their two children would be raised "in the Protestant faith." Since this
agreement was entered as part of the divorce decree, it was enforceable by the court. Subsequent to their divorce, Joel Rownak
converted to Mormonism and involved his two sons in his new faith, including baptizing one of the boys. Rownak made several free
speech arguments, but the Arkansas court still found in contempt of the decree. The court relied heavily on the fact that Rownak
himself had asked for the language to be placed in the divorce decree.

Your Identification

An official record of each individual is kept by military officials, and church membership may be included as a part of this record. Generally,
individuals in the service are classified as Jews, Protestants, or Catholics. Attempts have been made to include members of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Protestant category, but we are not Protestants. Protestants are members of those churches which
make up the main body of non-Jewish and non-Catholic denominations.

We are separate, not to be included with any of the three other groups. Specify that you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints, and if anyone tries to list you as a Protestant, do not permit it. In case of emergency, for example, proper identification as a member
of the Church will be of vital importance. Therefore, when you register with the military service, list yourself as a member of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"The Bush cuts, for example, were followed by the slowest job expansion since World War II."

Although the economic situation is dramatically worse than it was when Bush took office,
Romney intends to reduce taxes even more for high-income earners. You could plausibly say
that Romney intends to grow the economy with the old-time magic of trickle-down economics.

He makes no attempt to square the circle on tax cuts and deficits. According to an analysis by the Urban Institute–
Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center, Romney’s plan would add tremendously to the deficit. Extending the Bush cuts
would cost the federal government $480 billion per year; Romney’s additional “tax relief” would cost another $420 billion.
Under a Romney presidency, the federal government would lose $9 trillion in revenue over the next decade in order to lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
