Yes, a bit. He was kind of one of those “also rans” at the last minute, as I understand it, more from the Ripon Society wing of the part (RINO). But here is the question: If he was born in MEXICO, how did that still make him (George Romney) eligible to hold office as President of the United States, were he successful. What was he, born on the premises of a US Embassy or Consulate there? I still scratch my head over that one.
Here is what was said about his eligibility.
