MMmmmm. Probably because they have been out into the wider world and are not all that loyal. Call it secularization, sophistication, or agnosticism, or whatever you will. But, when was the last time you saw Romney, Huntsman, or Harry Reid coming out of an LDS church? Do they even attend? Against that backdrop, consider Obama's steady attendance at the church of Reverend Wright.
Huntsman, Romney and Reid are all temple mormons.

Romney and Reid, yes. They are both ‘active’ (to use the LDS term), have temple recommends, and church jobs (callings).
Huntsman is more of a ‘jack Mormon’. Reid and Romney are both TBM (True Blue or Truly Brainswashed) Mormons. They are true believers in Mormonism.
Bishop Romney is very much a church insider.
