Are the Mormons Going PC?

One of the two new Mormon apostles is Elder Dieter Uchtdorf, who was raised in East Germany. Which leads me of course to my newest conspiracy theory: the Mormons are secretly rooting for John Kerry by picking a German. Looks a little too coincidental, no? Of course, my theory would be a lead-pipe cinch if the other new guy were Frenchman Charles Didier.
