Press Releases, Quotes, Speeches, and Videos from Mitt Romney about Education organized by year     Education Brian Lamb In you history, it includes Stanford for how long ? You finished first in your class at Brigham Young University in Utah ? Why did you go to Brigham Young ? How did you -- how were able to get an MBA and a law degree at the same time ? And clearly it would be why you did well and, as you know, you finished well enough to give the valedictory address -- the question I want to ask you though is why do you think you did well ? Other than having a lot of brainpower, did you have an approach to education ?   Governor Mitt Romney and Education   "The least of learning is done in the classrooms." Thomas Merton   "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." Mark Twain   "My education was dismal. I went to a series of schools for mentally disturbed teachers."

Mitt Romney, in a sign that he is comfortable as the early-state frontrunner, aims to up his national profile by aggressively bracketing the Democratic presidential candidates over the next few weeks, aides said this weekend. The campaign hopes the regular reproaches will be seen as signs of confidence and strength and will help to reduce the friction that prevents Romney from being seen as the leader of the Republican pack. His national poll ratings regularly lag those of his better-known rivals. Aside from the benefit to his own candidacy, Romney's aides are worried that Republicans generally aren't doing enough to soften up the Democrats most likely to be their party's nominee. On the trail, Romney will spend a little more time analyzing "The Romney vision versus the Democrat vision," according to one aide. He will compare his proposals -- metaphorically, a three-legged stool of strong families, strong national defense and a strong economies, to what he'...

Mitt's Fred Hits Romney takes the lead in softening up Fred Thompson. By John Dickerson Posted Monday, July 23, 2007, at 11:47 AM ET Mitt Romney has been increasing his assault on the Democratic front-runners recently. During a recent campaign swing, he returned to a theme found in his earliest speeches: "The Democratic candidates want to run the largest enterprise in the world—the government of the United States—and yet have never run a corner store.'' To make sure reporters get the point, Romney's campaign has sent e-mails highlighting this attack and links to local wire stories featuring it. Republican voters usually like to hear their candidates beat up the opposition, so the broad attack helps Romney in his effort to look like the party front-runner . But according to Romney insiders, the former Massachusetts governor is not just aiming at Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. His other, perhaps more salient target, is fellow Republican Fred Thompson. L...

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took aim at Democratic rivals on Sunday, calling them all unprepared to lead the country and comparing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's economic plan to that of Socialist Karl Marx. "It would be helpful to have a person leading the country who understands how the economy works and has actually managed something," the former Massachusetts governor told reporters after a GOP fundraiser. "In the case of the three Democratic front-runners, not one of them has managed even a corner store, let alone a state or a city." Romney, who leads Republicans in New Hampshire , has focused his criticism in recent weeks on Clinton , Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards rather than rival Republicans. It's a strategy he hopes will help him maintain his lead over Sen. John McCain and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani . "I wanted to focus on the Democrats," he said. "By and large, the best way to ...

Reasons to agree Romney doesn't smoke. (Isn't Barak the only candidate who does smoke? Romney's "not smoking" isn't really a valid reason of bringing up the no-smoking charge, it is just a way for the liberal media to point out that Romney belongs to a weird conservative religious group frowns on smoking. Romney doesn't drink. Ann Romney says Mitt has never raised his voice. People vote for candidates who are like them. They don't want their candidates to be too good, to smart, too handsome, too competent. They want them to suffer, because we live in an Opera world where we love to bask in each other's misery. If you don't have misery for the public to bask in, they don't care about you. That don't want to watch smart people who have overcome their life's problems, because that will make them feel bad about themselves. Romney is too Brady Bunch . Romney is not enough Simpsons .
