  7. How Mitt Romney should have answered the bullying story

    The Washington Post's <a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romneys-prep-school-classmates-recall-pranks-but-also-troubling-incidents/2012/05/10/gIQA3WOKFU_story.html?hpid=z2">piece</a> Thursday about the rough pranks former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney allegedly pulled in prep school added little, if anything, of substance to the presidential race. It was cast as a sort of reality check on the Romney campaign, which has been trying to humanize the candidate by talking about his puckish streak. But it only makes me wonder whether similar scrutiny was applied to President Obama's teenage years, and why anyone would think that portion of the candidates' lengthy biographies would be relevant to the choice confronting voters in November.
