It's the "Satan hates America" theme of that speech that will give him heartburn. That speech is more inflammatory than anything Jeremiah Wright ever said, and these are the candidate's own words.
But Romney can't attack on that, he'll risk offending the base.
Democrats sure can, and if Santorum becomes the nominee they will, no doubt.
As for the comment about "mainline Protestantism," yes it's in decline, I don't think anyone could argue otherwise. 7th day Adventists, Mormons, non-denominational Christians and Catholics are growing, last I heard.
