Well no one in the so called &#8216;liberal&#8217; media is mentioning this juicy tidbit. No one is mentioning his low 40% approval rating when he left the governorship after one term either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-full wp-image-2347\" title=\"romneymormon\">Another thing we noticed today is that the <a title=\"Salt Lake City Tribune Endorses President Obama\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sltrib.com\/sltrib\/opinion\/55019844-82\/romney-obama-state-president.html.csp\" target=\"_blank\">Salt Lake City Tribune endorsed Barack Obama for President<\/a> yesterday. We find this rather astonishing since Salt Lake City is the mecca of Mormonism, which is Romney&#8217;s religion, and dealt considerably with Romney in the 2002 Winter Olympic games. Though Romney will no doubt carry Utah, it&#8217;s shocking that the largest daily newspaper would NOT lend it&#8217;s support to one of the most high profile Mormon politicians in the country. Things that make you go hmmmmm!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2347\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=2347\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2347\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2347\" title=\"romneymormon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/romneymormon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/romneymormon.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/romneymormon-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GOP candidate, Spiff Romney, receives a reality check from one of his Mormon brethren in Salt Lake City.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing that is really interesting to us here at the Bucket is that no one is mentioning that Spiff Romney is trailing President Obama in polls by 15 points in his home state of Massachusetts. 15 POINTS!!!
