Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday he’ll probably deliver a speech explaining the role his Mormon faith plays in his political life, but he argued he’s made strong gains among evangelicals despite questions about his religion.<\/p>\n
“I have thought about that,” Romney said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I haven’t made a final decision, but it’s probably more likely than not.”<\/p>\n
During a campaign appearance earlier in the day, Romney was asked about his views on appointing a “God-fearing Mormon” to the Supreme Court. Romney has been asked about such matters frequently in question-and-answer sessions he holds almost daily.<\/p>\n
“I’d go after people who will follow the law and I wouldn’t apply a religious test either,” Romney said.<\/p>\n
In the interview, Romney acknowledged the issue crops up often enough that he’s pondering dealing with it in a comprehensive manner.<\/p>\n
