Is Larry Craig Mormon?
The web is abuzz because Senator Larry Craig pled guilty to committing lewd acts in a public men's room.
A lot of the buzz is because Craig is a Republican from Idaho, so a lot of the buzz (see The Democratic Daily, Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic, Pam's House Blend, Magic Valley Mormon, and New West) revolves around whether Craig is a Mormon who has been involuntarily outed. This is mostly in the comments, where this is almost a foregone conclusion.
The answer is no. Craig is listed at Adherents.com as a Methodist.
N.B. The comments at The Democratic Daily do correct the claim that Craig is Mormon, but it is spotty elsewhere.




Besides Idaho being very LDS, I think they're confusing Craig with Idaho's other Senator, Mike Crapo, who is LDS.

I think you're absolutely right.
