For the last 20 years, the pastor at Calvary Baptist in Sheldon, Iowa has been Marcus Moffitt. During this past Sunday's service, Moffitt encouraged the members of his congregation to participate in the caucuses. He did not endorse a specific candidate but suggested that they should select someone "righteous."
Moffitt is one of more than 100 religious leaders in Iowa whom Michele Bachmann lists as supporting her candidacy for President. Cathy Wurzer talks with Pastor Moffitt about how he ended up on that list.
