RE: Disappearing Options
How can you tell. If he has the full LDS belief set then he would have to give some batshit crazy answers to certain questions. But I agree with you that on the campaign issues he looks quite sane against the background of the other candidates.
I think that there is a warning here about how a weirdo could slip under the radar if not properly pinged.

I don’t think that’s really the problem here. I think it’s the fact that they have been “properly pinged” that’s showed us how bad most of them are. It’s what’s let Romney look the best.
To be honest, I don’t see what it is that conservatives don’t like about Romney — from their perspective, he’s clearly more conservative than Obama, he’s not bug-shit insane like the other candidates, so what’s not to like?
I suspect the only real problem with Romney is that the GOP has set up a de facto religious test for office, and Mormons don’t qualify. I’m sure a lot of them are gagging on the fact that two of the other three choices are Catholic.

You ask the question and I’ll give what I think he’d answer. Then we can both decide how crazy it is. Ready, go.
