This is stretching things a bit, but it fits the pattern. Mitbots (Romney agents in the field) target candidates with some sort of well-known religious affiliation as being "Romney stalking horses", that is a candidate simply there to make it easier for Romney to get the nomination.

They did that earlier with "The Huck" (Huckabee).

I think it runs through their minds that Romney, their guy, has a religious affiliation that might make it difficult for Conservatives to vote for him, so, give those folks a choice ~ "You can vote for Romney, or you can vote for this here Baptist preacher boy".

Here we see it happening with Sarah where the clear implication is that "You can vote for Romney, or you can vote for this here ex-Catholic Holy Roller".

The Mitbots keep their real affiliation correct, and then peddle this stuff from whatever sources are handy. This time it's London. Next time it'll be Madrid (for the Hispanic vote).

No guys, it won't work. Conservatives have voted for Mormons before, and Jews, and Baptists, and more recently Holy Rollers.

The question is the candidate and his or her reputation for policy consistency ON OUR SIDE.

correct secret ???

I have the same gut feeling about the dodgy behavior of Mittbots.

This form of studied (practiced presentation) public face hiding a secret agenda isn't too hard to spot.
