Romney Was Reluctant to Run Again for President

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJBK) -- With the clock winding down to the election next week, candidate Mitt Romney supplemented his TV commercials with a personal town hall appearance in Shelby Township on Tuesday, but prior to that in a one-on-one exchange, he revealed he would take military action against Iran, but only as a last resort.

"If we reach a point where all of our other options have failed, where there are no alternatives but a military option, then we will take a military option whether on our own or in supporting a nation like Israel," Romney said.

On his second bid for the White House, Romney revealed it was his wife who convinced him to run since he was reluctant. The question that lead in to that disclosure? Does God want you to be president?

"My wife wants me to be president, and that's the person who got me into this race," he answered.

"When she first broached that subject with you, you put the covers over your head and said no thanks," FOX 2's Tim Skubick remarked.

"I was more resistant to running again," Romney told him.

Romney is attempting to reconnect with his Michigan roots to get votes by bring up his dad's name -- former Governor George Romney -- and he did it here.

"Every time I go to a debate, I write my dad's name at the top of the piece of paper there on the stand, just reminding myself of his great character, his integrity, the vision he had for America," Romney said.

But all those efforts may be for naught as he was asked this tricky question -- Red Sox or Tigers?

"I was a Tigers fan as a boy, but now having lived in Massachusetts almost 40 years, I've become a Red Sox fan," Romney explained.

How about that sports fans?
