Sen. Bennett runs for FAIR president or something.

Sen. Bob Bennett knows that The Book of Mormon is true, and now he wants others to read how he came to that conclusion in a new book he has written.

The book, published by LDS Church-owned Deseret Book, comes as the Utah Republican faces a tough re-election challenge from within his own party ranks. . .

“I offer it in the hope it will convince all who have an interest in The Book of Mormon, be they believers or skeptics, that any decision with respect to its origins requires a leap of faith,” Bennett wrote in the preface to his 584-page book.

Odd timing but 584 pages seems more than your usual campaign tome.

    Utah Republicans have never been shy about using the church either to get in office or to stay in office. Doug Stringfellow is probably the worst example I can think of, but I seem to recall Jake Garn running in 1974 as the church candidate or embraced somehow in the arms of the church. It’s shameless and totally transparent, but danged if it doesn’t usually work.

    Oh, I think they have been shy. You don’t see it that much nowadays do you?

    At least I haven’t seen it that much recently but the Utah Democratic Party went out of its way last year to make Sarah Palin an anti-Mormon to help the Obama campaign.

    Pretty cynical.
