john is a gifted, wonderful leader and a fair man and he will bring wonderful civility into the race so i don t think religion or religious background will or should play any role in the campaign. neil: but does it trouble you that one out of four or five americans say they would not elect a mormon for president? guest: well, that may be a situation where people look at the broad context but when they meet individuals and i have conducted business around the world for 50 years and never had anyone say anything other than it has been a pleasure and an honor to do business with you and i never heard anyone look at john with anything other than respect and dignity so i think that whether you are contact liquor jewish or protestant or whatever religion i think people get to know the individual and the individual pits behind them anything dealing with a religion
