Ken Jennings (yes, THAT Ken Jennings) on the two moderate GOP candidates who also happen to be Mormon.

But it’s also a sign that Mormons are pragmatists. Despite elements in their foundational story that seem fantastical to outsiders – angelic visitors and scriptures translated from buried golden plates – Mormon belief is laudably practical. When I go to church on Sunday, I’m almost guaranteed to hear a sermon full of quotidian common-sense advice – the blessings of teetotaling, tithing, holding a weekly “family night” or laying in supplies in case of an earthquake or other emergencies.

It is interesting that as conservative as Mormons tend to be and as Republican as Utah is that Romney and Huntsman are the moderate candidates this election cycle.
