Yeah, I think Harry Reid is going to make it perfectly clear that overt Mormon-bashing will not happen in this election.

Besides, why alienate a group when you can at least improve your image with it by specifically not bashing their religion?

Not really. I agree with Ernest that the kind of people who'd be especially bothered are mostly Republicans who'll vote for him anyway.

Plus, being seen as attacking someone's religion is politically toxic - personally, I think Romney's faith is a perfectly valid reason to vote against him, but there's a ton of other, less controversial reasons not to vote for Mitt Romney.

There's also the fact that Obama is politically savvy, and isn't dumb enough to target a rival's religion when he himself had political troubles over religion.
