Mitt totally blew this question. He started strong, earning slight applause by claiming that the Bible is the word of god, a claim he would make once every nine seconds until he finished talking. But as soon as he was pinned down and asked if he believed every word, he lost what little momentum he had.
Ol’ Mitt Looking the Part
He came off as defensive and unsure, while appearing to be religiously equivocating. It will be interesting to see if this hurts his poll numbers with the most religious voters. I imagine it could if they were paying attention.
He didn’t mention the Book of Mormon, or his personal religious differences from Christians, other than saying that he might interpret the Bible a different way than “you” do.
By highlighting his acceptance of the Bible as “the word of god” Romney was seeking to draw parallels with his faith and Christianity. He avoided saying the “M” word or mentioning any Mormon differences. Not surprising, Mitt is trying to become president in a country that is deeply mistrustful of his religion.
