Is Mitt Romney a Conservative Christian? If so, is he the most electable?

There's a new poll on Americans' perceptions of the "Mormon" Faith--The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The results stunningly underscore deeply held beliefs by many in America of what Count Leo Tolstoy once described--after his visit to the United States more than 100 years ago--as the then only "orginal" American religion.

How does the The Church of Jesus Christ(LDS) define itself? How might churches and their leaders from the earlier Christian traditions of America describe it?

These questions may have special relevence this week. The National Religious Broadcasters' Association is meeting, and consideration of Mitt Romney's candidacy will be a point of discussion. Here is a link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17149388/
