The typical Mormon answer to that question is to pledge loyalty to the "correctly translated" Bible. It's a basic tenet of Mormon doctrine that the KJV Bible was "corrupted" through mistranslation, and that Joseph Smith's "Book of Mormon" provided the missing chapters. It will be interesting to see of the Deseret News (LDS newspaper in Salt Lake) makes note of this, or whether Romney has gotten special dispensation from the church elders to lie about his beliefs.
