That's an interesting historical point. It appears the Romney family is not meant to have Presidential aspirations.

ReplyDeleteThe old man was quite a politician, and he raised questions about the Vietnam War; that LBJ was giving the USA a snow job. George Romney was ridiculed for saying words to that effect out lound, and he was pretty much driven out of the 1968 contest. I don't think Mitt Romney was quite as genuine an article as his father.
