ROMNEY AIDES OPPOSE SPEECH ON RELIGION

Mitt Romney says he kind of likes the idea of giving a speech explaining his Mormon faith, but his aides are advising him not to give such a speech, fearing that it will focus too much attention on his religion. I think that is a big mistake. Governor Romney should give such a speech. Living in the deep south, I know the prejudices of many of the people who live here. A speech explaining his faith and the influence it would have on him is critical if he hopes to carry the South.
