Comments: Why when talking about Mitt Romney do they say he is "Mormon" rather than "Christian"? Are Mormons different from Christians so much that they have their own name?
Romney and Mormon theocracy
Bloom points out the danger of concentrating on unfamiliar LDS doctrines in political commentary: "Our political satirists, with Mr. Romney evidently imminent, delight in describing the apparent weirdness of Mormon cosmology and allied speculations, but they forget the equal strangeness of Christian mythology, now worn familiar by repetition."[..] ...Bloom's opinion piece in the New York Times on Saturday titled, "Will This Election Be the Mormon Breakthrough?" where he calls the LDS Church a "knowledge-hungry religious zealotry" and its leaders "plutocratic oligarchs."

Comments: If Mitt Romney does win you can be sure that anything he does will be viewed with relation to his beliefs. For instance he makes a decision and then people will want to know if Mormons do it that way. Remember when King used to interview Hinckley a lot? This will be something like that although Monson seems more camera shy.

There was an article about Mitt Romney's $10,000 bet in the Washington Post Source 3 that accuses him of being out of touch with the public's economic problems as well as gambling isn't allowed in the church. I think its just nitpicking but I posted it here in case someone thought there was merit to what was said about Romney.
Mitt felt he had to answer for that gambling remark by using something from his mission, I would have just ignored it.
