After losing ground in the polls in Iowa, Mitt Romney delivered a speech addressing his Mormon faith to try and ease evangelicals.
The former Massachusetts governor -- the first major Mormon candidate for president -- has seen his support slip recently in the early battleground state of Iowa amid misgivings by some Christians, particularly evangelicals, about his religion.JFK gave a similar speech preceding his election as President. Yet, somehow I think Catholicism and Mormonism are a little different. And if Mitt Romney wins the primary you can count on his Mormon faith and getting extensive media coverage.
So in a 20-minute address billed as his definitive response to the issue, Romney said he was seeking to be a leader for Americans of all faiths, not just his own.
