My take on the "Binders of Women" comment by Mitt

I believe this is a throwback to his grandfather's polygamous culture. The "Prophet" would keep a book, or binder if you will, with pictures of eligible females from which his chosen male followers could make their selection to get additional wives.

At least I understand this went on (and still goes on) in polygamous groups.

I think Mitt slipped up big-time.
