Also, I think there are laws against what you are suggesting.

I'm sure the church could hire someone like you to figure out how to get around the laws. I didn't mean suggest it as a serious strategy, only to comment that the PR value is obviously there. It's pretty obvious the Romney election is going to be a huge PR boon for the church, no matter how physically and reputationally tattered he finishes.

He's good looking, smart, and says "Jesus Christ is my personal savior" over and over. How is that going to end up backfiring on the church? The only reason I say it would backfire on the church if the church funded him would be that people would be suspect that the church was using him just for PR.
