2008 Campaign: What the Candidates Believe

Season 12

Kim Lawton reports on the faith of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.

Does it matter what a candidate believes?

But at the same time, more than 70 percent of Americans say they do want a president with strong religious beliefs.
