^snip^
The son of George W. Romney (the former Governor of Michigan) and Lenore Romney, Mitt Romney was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and later served as a Mormon missionary in France. He married Ann Romney in 1969 and they have five children. He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University, and then earned a joint JD and MBA from Harvard University. Romney entered the management consulting business, which led to a position at Bain & Company, where he eventually served as CEO and brought the company out of crisis.

They are both graduates of Harvard Law School.

(22,308 posts)4. I stand corrected
I also wonder why Newt doesn't attack him as having the same education as Pres. Obama. It seems like one more line of attack which would fit in with the narrative that there isn't enough of a difference between the two.
He is still an (R) business major turned CEO/Governor who's father was a big win in the party.
We can't really elect another one of these, can we?

but wasn't sure. My understanding is that he never took the bar or practiced law.
