Robert B Bluey: Are you prepared to deal with what is bound to be attacks from the media and opponents about your religious faith? And how do you plan to talk about that and address that?
Mitt Romney: I think the American people want to see a person of faith lead the nation, and I don’t think the American people care very deeply about which brand of faith that is.
There’s not very much that’s well known about my church because it’s not broadly based throughout the nation with large numbers of people who are adherents. When anything is unknown, people are going to be a little skeptical. But I think, again, as individuals look at my life and my family’s life, they’ll recognize that my values are quintessential American values; that my religious beliefs are consistent with the religious beliefs of other Judeo-Christian faiths, such as a belief in the divinity of God and the need to need to provide service to others, the preeminence of the family unit. These types of elements are what America looks for in a leader.
What I will do to bring home those sentiments will probably be shaped as time goes on.
