'''Willard Mitt Romney''' (born 1947, goes by Mitt), served as the governor of [[Massachusetts]] from 2002 to 2006 and is a Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election. If elected, he will become the first Mormon president. Currently, Romney is gaining popularity becuase his stable marriage attracts conservative audiences who are unhappy with [[John McCain]], [[Rudy Giulliani]], and [[Newt Gingrich]]'s many divorces. The irony that the Mormon has been married the least times of all the candidates was pointed out by Romney's wife, Ann, who said the difference between her husband and the other candidates is that "he's had only one wife."<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070224/ap_on_el_pr/romney_polygamy]</ref>

Romney's critics attack his inconsistent track record on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Although Romney now identifies bimself as pro-life and anti-same sex marriage, he claimed to be pro choice and supported same-sex rights as late as 2002. These swaps coupled with his [[Mormon]] affiliation puts him at odds with much of the Evangelical right, but a PollingReport.com chart indicates that Mitt was still polling around 7% withing the GOP primary forecasts.
