The Osmonds sing praises of Romney

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor November 14, 2007 07:30 PM

Some of the country's most famous Mormons give their props tonight to the first member of their church to run for president.

Interviewed on "Larry King Live," the singing Osmond family has nothing but nice things to say about Mitt Romney, according to clips posted on CNN's website. (Watch them here.)

Jimmy Osmond calls Romney "a great man."

Donny Osmond said Romney's candidacy has been "absolutely wonderful for the Mormon Church" because it has made many more Americans curious about their faith.

And Marie Osmond had this to say when asked whether Romney should give a speech on his religion similar to the one that John F. Kennedy gave during the 1960 campaign before becoming the nation's first Catholic president: "I hope we've grown up since then. I hope people look at the person and what they've done."

  1. I voted for Mr. Romney in hopes he would be our Republican Nominee. Much to my disappointment, he was not. WE AS AMERICANS, CAN ONLY HOPE FOR 2012 or 2016.
    Also, regarding the Osmond's and your family, after my mother dying in 2007 and having no siblings, please promise me that you will always love and value your brothers.
    You go girl, congrats on loosing 40 lbs, as well as having the family we all wish for.
