'''Mitt W. Romney''' was a candidate for the [[Republican Party|God, Guns, and Gays Party]] nomination in the [[2008 U.S. Presidential Election]].  As of August 2007, he was the third-placed Republican candidate.  A former absentee Governor of the Commonwealth of [[Massachusetts]], his term ended in January 2007.
+
 
+
His membership in the [[Mormonism|Mormon]] Church had been an element of controversy in the run-up to the election.  As a political grandstander, he has been firm in pointing out that in the West, "marriage" has meant "one man and one woman" for over two thousand years.  Despite being a Mormon, he has had fewer wives than [[Newt Gingrich]], [[Ronald Reagan]], or [[Rudolph Giuliani]].
+
 
+
He also wants to "double the size" of the prison in [[Guantanamo Bay]], [[Cuba]].
+
 
+
His hair, however, is '''''perfect'''''.
+
 
+
One of his claims to fame was his saving of the Salt Lake City Olympics from rampant corruption.
+
 
+
Mitt W. Romney <s>ended</s> ''suspended'' his campaign on February 7, 2008 after seeing his results in the Super Tuesday primaries, saying that him staying in the race "would make it easier for Senator Clinton or Senator Barack Obama to win" and that his campaign would "be a part of aiding surrender to terror". Whatever helps you sleep at night, Mitt.
+
 
+
After that he endorsed [[John McCain]] on February 14 (mmm... Valentine's Day) and supported him ever since. This must have impressed him as Romney was said to be one of McCain's choices for a Vice-President, though God knows why.
+
 
+
In a feeble attempt to compensate after a failed try for both President and Vice-President, Romney (and [[Rudy Giuliani|another also-ran]] for the 2008 Republican Presidential candidacy) decided to make trouble at the 2008 Democratic National Convention by creating an on-site "war room" to try and get media coverage by spewing their skewed nonsense about the Obama campaign. Like his bid for Presidency and Vice-Presidency, this was a laughable fail.

== Quotes ==
+
During the presidential campaign he said:
+
 
+
"In recent years the notion of the separation of church and state has been taken by some well beyond its original meaning. They seek to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God. Religion is seen as merely a private affair with no place in public life. It is as if they are intent on establishing a new religion in America - the religion of secularism. They are wrong."<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections08/mittromney/story/0,,2223652,00.html Rommy - church and state]</ref>
