(WASHINGTON TIMES) — President Obama’s senior adviser on Sunday pledged that the Democratic campaign won’t target Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith.

“We’ve said that’s not fair game,” said David Axelrod, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The declaration came three days after Mr. Romney repudiated plans by Republican donors and super PACs to launch a $10 million ad campaign tying Mr. Obama to his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, known for fiery condemnations of the United States and its policies delivered from behind the pulpit.
