Mitt and his Hispanic ties

Mitt's dad George was born in Mexico at the Mormon compound founded by his grandfather Miles Park Romney who had four wives.
So how many great-grandmas does Mitt have? Polygamy makes the math tough.
So when Mitt talks immigration, he has some knowledge, in reverse.
Edit to say: I guess my point here is that the history of the Romney polygamy compound in Mexico may not sit well with the Hispanic vote.

1. Huh?

If his great-grandfather had four wives, then he has... four great grandmas? The math isn't hard at all.

Not sure what the point of this post is...

6. Well, I had two two grandmas, one one my mom's side and one on my dad's side.

The four are from his great granddads side only. So I am confused.

2. The family history is complicated. The Romneys left England for America,

left America for Deseret, and then when Deseret became Utah they went (on Brigham Young's orders) to Mexico, from which they were later driven out by revolution.

Reluctant Americans, let's call them.

3. Does this mean that Mitt Rob-me is the GOP's first Latino nominee

since his dad was from Mexico?
