Romney probably figures if he gives Obama a pass on Wright he will get a pass on Mormonism. Of course, he figures incorrectly.
Yes - this is the same idiotic reasoning as RuPaul’s that if we’re nice to Iran et al and just mind our own business, they’ll leave us alone.
I do agree that if Romney’s people are as cunning and ruthless against BHO as they were to other Republicans, much of this dirt can come from other sources than Mittens himself - they just better make sure it does.
