    Default It's not ancient history if he's running

    The episode occurred at Cranbrook, a private school that Romney, the son of an automobile executive-turned-governor, attended in Michigan.


    Romney returned from spring break in his senior year to find that John Lauber, a quiet, offbeat type, had bleached his hair blond.



    Mr. Romney, brandishing a pair of scissors, led other boys on a hunt for Mr. Lauber, teasing him and holding him down while Mr. Romney snipped off his long locks.



    “As to pranks that were played back then, I don’t remember them all, but again, high school days, if I did stupid things, why, I’m afraid I’ve got to say sorry for it,Romney, 65, the Republican presidential nominee, said in a Fox News Radio interview. He said he also had no reason to believe “the fellow was homosexual,” which was “the furthest thing from my mind back in the 1960s.”



    Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer in Michigan, who participated in the episode, recalled it in an interview on Thursday. “It started out as ribbing, sort of a pointed ribbing about his hair, but it very quickly became an assault, and he was taken down to the ground, pinned,” Maxwell said. “It all happened very quickly — it was like a pack of dogs.”



    Lauber is no longer alive, but several classmates confirmed the account.

    Didn't Clinton get less than 50% of the popular vote and beat Bush anyway, thanks to an independent candidate siphoning off conservative votes? Just asking.
