Since I live in Utah, and am not a Morman I have an inside track on the religion that most people do not know about, and also Mormans outside of Utah and Idaho do not know about. It is a Morman prophery that when an LDS becomes president it will either start the new kingdom or it will arrive.

I'm still trying to absorb the belief that the Second Coming will transpire in Missouri.

Well, better there than here...
