I’ve watched this five times now, and I think what shocks me more than the Mormon beliefs themselves (which, though certainly crazy, are not much more ridiculous than “ordinary” Christianity) is the aggressive, almost thuggish manner in which Romney defends them when they’re challenged.

Clearing up the details of how Christ, when he returns, will divide his time between Jerusalem and the State of Missouri.
Interesting, and very useful, to know what matters most to the potential future commander-in-chief.
