... looks like they'll be choosing between a Mormon and some second marriages when they go to vote in the Republican primaries. Of all the candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have the most plausible Christian testimonies.
I realize that many, particularly "evangelicals", do not consider Mormons to be Christians, and probably many people think a testimony held by a Mormon to be per se implausible (I disagree on both points), but if you consider amounts donated to church and other charities (in dollars and, I suspect, proportion of income), and amount of time spent in church service, each over a lifetime, to be indicators of a plausible testimony, I think it nearly certain that Mitt Romney comes in well ahead of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
