The Romneys: Like father, like son
Published: Sunday, June 12, 2011 3:00 p.m. MDT By Linda and Richard Eyre, For the Deseret News
But as the campaign got more intense, all Romney staffers were pulled into New Hampshire, the site of the first primary, and I spent the cold and snowy winter of 1967-68 in Portsmouth, organizing “home headquarters” for Romney. In the meantime, George’s second son, Mitt, was on his mission in Paris.
When George started to decline in the polls, largely the result of his sometimes-too-blunt candor and saying things like “I was brainwashed about Vietnam,” the situation became desperate. We all knew that if we didn’t win in New Hampshire, the Romney campaign was doomed.
As George slipped in the polls, he chose to withdraw, Nixon was nominated and the rest is history. The country wasn’t ready for the directness and candor of George Romney. When Mitt came home from France, his father’s campaign was over. I wrote my thesis for my BYU masters program on “George Romney in 1968, From Front-Runner to Drop Out: An Analysis of Cause.”

So weird. I remember that campaign well, yet have zero recollection of George Romney.
OK, read the article and it was good, but it says nothing like what your post implied about Mitt or his Dad.
And the country wasn’t ready for the evasion and RINOness of MITT Romney, in 2010.
Will we have him successfully FORCED upon us next time?
He could NOT beat a fellow rino last time, what about NOW?
With real CONSERVERATIVES (though flawed) in the running?
