Would Jesus vote for Mitt Romney?

Marc Ambinder flags an anti-Romney pamphlet handed out in Iowa that features a bizarre hypothetical:

Would Jesus Christ vote for Mitt Romney?

…We strongly believe that Jesus Christ, if he were alive in the flesh and voted, would never vote for Mitt Romney under any circumstances.

Forget WWJD. I’m going to start marketing WWJVFITASP — who would Jesus vote for in the Ames straw poll?

Update 8/11 10:10 PM: Romney won. Apparently Jesus was outvoted.
