Mitt Romney's Sons Tried To Convince Him To Not Run For President
"Were nervous about it, Josh, the middle brother, said. Its one of those things. Our lives are pretty good as they are, but this is one of those things where we recognize its good for the country for my dad to run but not necessarily good for us, so we are going to try and keep our lives as normal, as consistent as they can possibly be over the next few years.
Josh said that his father's failed bid for the Republican nomination in 2008 made the family wary of another campaign.
"We knew what we were getting into this time, so we were definitely more hesitant," Josh said.
Matt, the second oldest of the Romney sons, admitted that he had similar reservations about his father's second stab at the presidency.
"I didn't want him to do it," Matt said. "I tried to convince him not to. I think there were a few of us who tried that ... but I just felt like, for us as a family, this isnt the best thing. But, as Josh said, for the country we think its the right thing."

(34,546 posts)His sons told the media about Seamus, how he deliberately tripped his daughter-in-law in order to win a family foot race, how he shoved his son's face in butter and his grandson's in whipped cream. And this is supposed to endear Mitt to us just how exactly?
I took care of that today.

I agree - those kids think Mitt will be insufferable if he's ever President - he's already likely to be far more dominant to their lives than ordinary folks are used to.
