2. This is a lame non-issue

I've pointed out on here before that Obama's family connection to polygamy is actually one generation (and quite a few decades) more recent than Mitt's. You have to go back to Romney's great-grandparents to find polygamists, while you only have to go back to Obama's grandparents to find it.

And who gives a shit, really? Neither candidate is themselves a polygamist. I care about their policies. I don't give a damn what their ancestors did.
