Comments about ‘And the winner in the 2012 presidential election is ... the Mormon church’

I was amazed at David Banack's statement that President Obama showed "restraint" in not bringing up Romney's Mormonism during the campaign.

I don't think Banack has a very realistic perception of Obama (perhaps because Banack is on the other side politically?).

I can't in a million years imagine Obama bringing up someone's religion as a negative factor (i.e., "why you should vote for *me* instead"). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall hearing any Democrat portraying Romney's Mormonism as a negative.

No, that seems to have been strictly in the Republican camp--specifically, many evangelicals. They finally "accepted" Romney's Mormonism because of their "anyone but Obama" desire.

If I were the Mormon Church, I wouldn't bask too much in the "acceptance" of a lot of the people who once castigated the Church. I suspect that many of them will return to their same theological castigation now that their "acceptable" candidate lost.
