Let me get this straight: The more people understand about Romney's Mormon faith, including his worldview that he either thinks he's a "god-in-embryo" (lds leader language) or will become an after-this-life "god," problems "melt away?" Really?

Where is that statement in the article?

and LDS leader language?

You are intentionally distorting that article because that is your paraphasing.

Acts 3
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

Rom. 8:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

The words Joint Heir and glorified are in Romans

The meaning of words in the Bible is derived from the Biblical Hebrew or Greek, and the context in which they are used. Not from “Wikitionary”.

The Bible is composed of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures of the Tanakh, and the Greek Scriptures of the New Covenant[New Testament].

The Greek word from which the english word “glorified” was translated from in Acts 3:13 is “doxazo”. - to render or esteem as glorious, to magnify, to honour.

“...the God of our fathers hath glorified [ honoured, esteemed, magnified] his Son Jesus.”

The Greek word from which the english “glorified” was translated from in Romans 8:17 is “sundoxazo”.
-to exalt to “dignity” in company with.

“...if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified [ honoured, dignified] with Him.”

Back it up a bit to Romans 8:15-18

“For ye have not recieved the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have recieved the Spirit of “adoption”, whereby we cry , Abba Father.

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.” [children by adoption, not literal]

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory [dignity, honour] we shall recieve.”

Isaiah 43:10
