Analysis: Romney speech on faith brings risk
Mitt Romney decided to deliver a major speech about his religious faith after concluding attention to his Mormonism would only intensify in potentially unflattering ways in the crucial weeks ahead. But even some of his top aides see the speech as a wildly unpredictable gamble.
The speech, titled "Faith in America," is potentially at war with the campaign's longtime precept that it is not a winning strategy for Romney to be identified primarily as the Mormon candidate in a Republican race dominated by Christian voters.
Just three weeks ago, Romney had said at a house party in New Hampshire that political advisers had told him that such a speech was "not a good idea – it draws too much attention to that issue alone."
---Many politics make religion a bigger deal than what it really is, in my opinion. Just because Romney wants to share his speech about his religion with others doesn't conclude how he will run the country. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and tradition for that matter. Therefore, he shouldn't be comdemned for being who he is. It's a free country, is it not?
