He believes in God. Thats going to be more of a problem for Democrats than it is for Republicans, by and large.

Yes & not so fast. Yes: a prob for Dems.

more of a problem...than it is for Republicans...

Not so fast: You imply that it's just the mere mention of God himself who's provocative to Dems. Well, it's not simply the presence of divinity, but the definition of him that concerns some voters. (Yes, as the MSM has been trying to light a fire of recognition, the god of Mormons is indeed provocative to many Evangelical voters....What? You think evangelicals think they bow down to the same God as the God of the Mormons? Even LDS leaders are on record saying they worship different gods).

So how's this going to eventually play out in the press? Some evangelical voters will eventually gain a higher profile & raise the red flag about a candidate whose god is a literal "god factory." Somebody is eventually going to ask Mitt the tough questions: "Mr. Romney, do you believe you can become a god at some point? Does your God transform dozens, thousands, millions to become gods themselves?"

It'll be interesting to see how he answers. Because I'm also interesting in knowing why those who've already decided to push Romney why they'd be willing to vote for any candidate (never mind that it's Mitt or any LDS person) who tells you with a straight face that they are godhood-bound.
