Opponents will be in a pickle as to how to tar Mitt with the effect of being Mormon. Implying that it makes him unacceptably “conservative” would give Mitt great joy. He wants to be thrown into that briar patch. Implying that it makes him too liberal? Naw, Democrats would never do that. Mormonism is weird? No weirder than what godless Democrats do daily.
The Mormon religion is no weirder than Scientology.
