eldest son. tag romney tells the boston globe that his dad never actually wanted the top job and he was reluctantly convinced to run for president. he wanted to be president less than anyone i ve met in my life is what tag said, direct quote. he went on to say that his father is a very private person who simply does not like attention. that s a stunning remark, the money, the time, the scheduling, the scrutiny, the investment. the people around you who come along for the ride. if you don t really want it, why would you jump and devote two years of your life running for the toughest job on the planet? i was at the romney headquarters election night and i can tell you that when they learned he wasn t going to be president of the united states, he looked sad. he looked disappointed. he looked like somebody that really wanted this and it was not going to be. so just seeing the reaction and everything that went into it. and tag said that ann tried to convince him of this too, to run.
