Don't worry. The Iowa Republican Caucus has become so comically Christian fundy nutjob that Romney isn't even bothering much with the state (he's focusing on New Hampshire). Romney isn't running as the "Christian family values" guy. He saw where that got him last time and his Mormon faith combined with his record as governor makes that whole approach a non-starter (really, how did he think that was going to play out). He's expecting to lose Iowa and because of where Iowa Republicans have gone politically, getting that nomination isn't what it used to be.
Remember that Iowa picked Huckabee last time, who crashed and burned with the more mainstream Republicans.
Bachmann will probably pick up Iowa and then go the way of Huckabee.
