This Thread is asking if you as an LDS Member will vote for him because he is LDS. Please note that there is another Thread in the Politics & Activism Board about Mitt where everyone can reply with regards to his Political views.Mitt Romney & The Mormon Church - Page 25
I'm actually kind of relieved he didn't win. As much as I dislike President Obama's policies, Mitt didn't convince me that he was ready for the office of POTUS. And Mr. Ryan is too wet behind the ears to be VP. It would have been chaos from Day One. I did vote for him, hoping for the best, but I'm just glad it's over. In a couple of years, there will be two new contenders and we can start again. Hopefully something better will be on it.

Activists: Romney Should Have Pressed Pro-Life Issues More
Top prolife activists say Mitt Romney should have pressed pro-life issues more on the campaign trail than he did - drawing a starker contrast between his pro-life views and President Barack Obama's abortion record.
"Barack Obama's re-election is a tragedy for the country. It is also the latest in a series of missed opportunities for the Republican Party. Voters overwhelmingly disagree with the extreme positions on abortion taken by President Obama and the Democrats," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, head of the Susan B. Anthony List. "Mitt Romney, the Republican Party, and their Super PAC allies never highlighted this vulnerability, despite the fact that our polling of likely swing voters revealed it to be a persuasive line of argument."

When Mitt was running for president the missionaries were specifically being forbidden to talk about Mitt Romney, we know they are not supposed to discuss politics but I guess due to the attention of Romney being a Mormon, the counsel was needed:
QUOTE With their dark suits, white shirts and name tags, Mormon missionaries are the most identifiable representatives of the LDS Church in America.
Yet as they knock on doors or ride their bikes through South Carolina and Nevada neighborhoods during this weekend's presidential primaries, they have been forbidden to talk about Mitt Romney.
The LDS Church's mission is "to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ," LDS spokesman Scott Trotter said today. "As a church we are politically neutral and have instructed our missionaries to focus on that mission and to respectfully decline any invitations to discuss politics."
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bans all political discussion from its pulpits and young missionaries are not allowed to read newspapers or watch television, so they may not even know the intense political debates swirling about them. They likely know little about Romney's candidacy or positions on issues.
But curious citizens probably ask them about it every day, says Ron Scott, a Boston-based journalist who has followed Romney's campaign closely. "I's sure it's in their face everywhere they go."
Scott served a two-year LDS mission to New England from 1965-1967, while Romney's father, George Romney made his aborted attempt to win the White House. Source 3

I think he is a decent politician but sorry I don't think he could have made it as US President. I think he would be mixing too much religion with politics.
