After some comments from Romney and his advisors I
think it is looking like The Speech is not a speech about
Mormonism
at all. He says its not a
JFK re-do on
nondiscrimination and he will not talk about Mormonism per se
in any detail (Prediction: he will not use the word "Mormonism" or
say "Church of Latter Day Saints"). Rather he is going to give what
for any other Republican would be a standard speech which goes
along the lines of : 1) The Founding Fathers believed in God 2)The
foundations of our country are inextricably linked to the Judeo
Christian tradition; 3) Great movements from abolition to civil
rights to pro-life were inspired by people of faith; 4) I'm a
person of faith: 5) I support the same policies that you who are
people of faith believe in: marriage and the sanctity of life.
Pretty tame stuff but that's likely the safest and best he can do.
Some are
skeptical to say the least while
others warn against spinning too obviously or calling voters
bigots. But based on Romney's hints I think they are overestimating
the scope of the speech. By the same token that leaves Huckabee
free to say " Well, duh." UPDATE: More is
here and I will add to the list
above: 6) Leftwing groups would like to push religion out of the
public sqaure, take God's name off coins and out of the Pledge of
Allegience; and 7) We're not going to let them.
Someone agrees. (h/t NRO).
