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."

Romney Flexes Muscles In Dems Direction

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.

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...
