To the best of my knowledge, Romney is not visiting Christian churches. He and his people have decided they can win this without the Christian Right.

They can't do this without the Christian Right. In 2010, white Evangelicals constituted 34% of the turnout.

Romney can't win the South without the Christian Right.

And his only win in a primary in 2008 & 2012 outside of his home turf is Florida & AZ...FL due to the elderly vote...

The Christian Right vote has nowhere to go but Romney if he wins the GOP nomination for President. The fact is that no conservative has won that nomination since Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Before that you have to go back to Goldwater in 1964 and then Coolidge in 1924.

A lack of enthusiasm for Romney may enable Obama to reprise his 2008 victory by winning VA, NC, and FL. However, political analyst Michael Barone notes that Romney has shown strength among affluent suburbanites that could reprise pre-1992 strength in the ring counties around the Northern metro areas. Fear of higher taxes and socialized medicine would outweigh the social issues that drove many middle income suburbanites in the Northeast and Midwest away from the GOP in the 1990s and 2000s.
