explain this:
... Why is Ron Paul’s Superpac Headquartered in Mitt Romney’s Backyard?

It's strange.
How many Romneys are voting for Ron Paul?

In two releases sent earlier today (Monday), the Paul campaign champions six members of the Romney clan who have endorsed his candidacy. (After an initial release touting five Romney backers, a second release noted a sixth, previously unaccounted for, Romney.) Three of those will speak as surrogates for the Paul campaign as Idaho voters go to the polls on Super Tuesday. One is “currently phone banking” at Congressman Paul’s Boise, Idaho, headquarters.
Among the group, one endorser is a second cousin once removed; two are first cousins to Romney’s father, George; one has a father who is Romney’s second cousin; one shares “common ancestry”; and there's one whose relationship to Romney is unclear beyond having the same last name.
Paul’s campaign suggests the endorsements are part of a powerful pattern: Ron Paul can win Mormon voters.
Concerning the active “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” coalition, this announcement follows the high-profile endorsements of Overstock.com president Jonathan Johnson, prominent author and chair of the Utah Tenth Amendment Center Connor Boyack, and that of Utah Republican Liberty Caucus chair Darcy Van Orden.
All such announcements help present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney and demonstrate that no presidential candidate has a monopoly on this crucial western states voter segment or even, for that matter, the Romney family.
