Like Ann said, the claim is not enough. There have been plenty of men in office who have made the claim while leading the country in supporting many unglodly ideals from the murder of the unborn to theft.

A believer with measurable fruit is preferred. However, that seems to be an impossible standard. I must consider the entire character of the man in question.

Let's assume that Obama is a Muslim, just for the sake this question.
Discernment then says they both worship false gods. Romney then gets my votes based solely on moral issues. I do think a person can be moral (relatively speaking) and not righteous.

Now let's assume Obama claims to be a Christian and Romney is still a Mormon.
Looking at the overall character of the men I would still vote Romney. This is because despite his claim, Obama does not bear any fruit that I can see.

Further, just because a man is a Christian does not mean he is a good leader or qualified for the job in question. Carter claimed to be a Christian. I know he cares deeply for people and desires peace. These are good qualities in a man and indicate the presence of measurable fruit (IMO). However, he was ill-equipped to be president. I believe he has a good heart, but is very naive. The economic disaster at home and the Iranian crisis point to this.
