From Deseret News archives:
Romney speech a hit on blogs, talk radio
Here is a sampling of the commentary:
• "I think he appealed to a lot of moderates out there in the Republican party.... He is making excellent points about manger scenes being banned from the public square and menorahs being unwelcome. And empty European cathedrals and what that tells us about the direction that Europe is going." Laura Ingraham, author and syndicated radio host, speaking on radio's "Imus In the Morning"
• "If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination, it will be due in large measure to his splendid and moving defense of his faith and beliefs delivered today at the George Bush Presidential Library. The address was courageous in a way that John F. Kennedy's speech to the Baptist ministers was not.... Romney did not truckle. He did not suggest that his faith was irrelevant to the formation of his political philosophy." Patrick J. Buchanan, conservative columnist, buchanan.org
• "I hope that Romney has helped to set this thing behind him once and for all. Kennedy did a good job. I think Romney hit the ball out of the ballpark today in separating his religious convictions from the role that he would play if elected president." Tony Compolo, president of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education, speaking on the "Hannity and Colmes" talk show.
