I think it’s now time to play the “Mitt Romney would/should/could appoint (insert well-known Mormon here) as _____” game.

GA’s and famous Mormons are fair game.    Creating a new position is also allowed.

As in:  Romney would appoint Deiter F. Uchtdorf as head of the FAA, Jeffrey Holland as head of Dept of Education.

What should be a pet-cause for Ann Romney?  (Michelle Obama’s is diet/weight-loss, Laura Bush’s was education, Nancy Reagan’s was Say No to Drugs.)

I nominate Family Home Evening to be Ann Romney’s cause.

(Various ideas can be found/stolen from a “Mitt Romney is so Mormon…” meme at various places on the net. A list of the best is here.)
