If Mitt Romney gets elected President, I am positive his opinion will change about making Jerusalem the diplomatic capital of Israel.

"But here’s the thing about the Middle East: no American entrepreneurial “fix it” approach is going to work. Without recognition of the complex religious and geopolitical histories and contradictions of the religion, Americans will only make things worse." from the

If Romney wants another war in the Mideast that pulls in US troops, he will keep kicking this hornet's nest in Jerusalem. The more plausible approach though is that his promise to Israel politiians to make Jerusalem the Capital will evolve if he becomes US President.
