Unfortunately for Romney, is that he has to decide on whether to be a missionary for the church during the campaign for the purpose of spreading the gospel or run for the presidency. He will not be able to do both. The more he focuses on answering questions regarding his faith the more media attention will be focused on that and not his political platform. As much as this might fascinate millions of viewers not acquainted with Mormonism a la LDS, it does little to keep voters focus on just what Romney is wanting to do regarding Taxes, Foreign Policy, Immigration, Education, Health Care, etc.
This is why I believe that the pounding since almost two years ago by the media has been his religion, and will continue to be his religion until he either falls out of the race or becomes elected. Even than if he does become POTUS, the religion card will rear its ugly head periodically.
In spite of all this he remains a strong candidate, and the amount of negative press he has garnered is proof that he is the guy to beat right now.

He is in an awkward position, no question. But I fail to see why that is any excuse at all to actually give false information about the church. If the choice is to be a missionary v. not be a missionary as you claim, then what is it called when you spread false information about your religion? Is there a single active church member other than Romney who would say that there has been no revelation since Moses?
