The ideal is to share as much as we can of the positives of each, then decide individually which we feel is best suited for the task at hand.
While it does get nasty, the reality is that if we don't talk about the negatives now, the MSM will definitely talk about them when the time comes. Do you hear the MSM making a big deal out of Romney being a Mormon? No, but God forbid he wins the primaries, you'll be hearing all kinds of stories about the Mormons on the nightly news. That's one example, but I can think of several issues for every candidate - Gingrich, Cain, Perry, etc. that would be dragged out front and center by the MSM.

If we could improve the atmosphere here for a while, we could do what is known as 'vetting' and find what the nedia will try to use on whomever is the nominee.
You mention LDS connections of Romney. On the Mormonism discussion threads the reality that very weird and disturbing aspects of Momronism as opposed to Christianity has been discussed ad infinitum. I doubt the media could raise somehting that has not been delved ... and perhaps the discussions have led media to some of the more astonishing stuff from Freerepublic threads. The media is lazy, and they have a socialist agenda to work for the DNC and destroy the opposition to the democrat criminal enterprise. The media need guillotine solutions, but it will not, alas, ever get there.
