  If This POTUS Thing Doesn't Work Out ...

  Another presidency just opened up. Gordon B. Hinckley, president and "prophet" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, died yesterday at the age of 97. We're always on the lookout for political omens, and this one can't be good for Mitt Romney.

  That said, here's why it's only a matter of time before we have a Mormon president:

  Mr. Hinckley is survived by his children, Kathleen Barnes Walker, Virginia Pearce, Jane Dudley, Richard Hinckley and Clark Hinckley; 25 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren.
