Why is Mitt Romney talking about

polgamy all of a sudden?
It is the Mormon equivalent of "marriage equality" the very picture definition of a hot button topic.
It wasn't really an issue in 2002 when he ran for Governor, although I do recall that his ancestors were outed (so to speak) as robust polygamists a practice Romney has condemned.
Why bring it up now on the eve of a Fox News sponsored debate in South Carolina?
Romney's high command must be afraid of Rove-style attack on his religion in the SC Primary next winter and must therefore try and bury the accusation now.
I'll bet the whole Mormon-polygamy meme has come up in focus group testing as well. All of which indicates that Romney has yet to seal the deal with the religious right and it's legions.
Just thinkin' out loud...
