And the beat goes on ...
Mitt Romney's loss Tuesday gives him new Mormon cred.
He's made it to the highest rung in politics any Mormon ever has.
But he was denied the brass ring--Mitt needs to spin this into the ultimate Mormon victimization since the LDS spun a mob murder into a martyrdom. If he does, he'll be a bigger 'rock star' at GCs he may attend in the future than the FP/12 combined.
Among Mormons, anyway, this scenario has turned into Mitt's best play for adulation from his fellows.

I'm disappointed, SP. I thought this was going to be another thread about spanking!

I guess I really gave this thread a misleading title.
Sorry for the disappointments.

I read the title of the OP and was all ready to discuss Boyd K. Packer's "Little Factory" sermon:

I thought it was about Sonny and Cher.
