permalinkHugh Hewitt sat down with Rudy this week and asked the mayor about Mitt's Mormon faith. Rudy responded:
I think that the Governor’s religion is not an issue in any way in the campaign, and any more than John Kennedy as being a Catholic was an issue, or Senator Lieberman as being Jewish when we ran for vice president. I mean, these things…I think we’re way beyond that, and I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I mean, obviously, by an issue, people will comment on it, but I think the American people have gone way beyond that, and they’re willing…what they want to do is look at the person, and what kind of…how have you performed in public office, what have you done, have you acted as a fair, impartial person in dealing with people of all different religions or whatever. And if that’s the case, those are the issues, not is what is someone’s religion, but how have they acted.
Rudy is a decent guy who admittedly is ahead in the polls right now (but behind in fundraising and endorsements). We applaud Mayor G. and hope we can continue to focus on the issues. Cheers.
