  IS THERE A BUSH-ROMNEY CONNECTION?  Both Bush and Romney graduated from the Harvard Business School in 1975.  As the grautaing class was then smaller than now, quite likely that the son of the former Texas Congressman, RNC Chair, Nixon's UN and China Ambassador and - later - Ford's CIA Director (Bush) at least knew the son of Nixon's HUD Secretary, former Michigan Governor and 1968 GOP presidential primary candidate (Romney).  Age discrepancies (Bush graduated Yale in '68; Romney graduated Brigham Young in '71) may be attributable to Bush not entering grad school right away.  Unlikely that the married, straight-laced and sober Mitt was buddies with the single, party-loving W. In 200l, Andy Card - W.'s Chief of Staff - engineered the appointment of Mass. Gov. Cellucci to be Ambassador to Canada, making Jane Swift Acting Gov. Card, when a Mass. state representative from Holbrook ('75-'83), served with Cellucci, then a state representative from Hudson ('77-'85) - the GOP usually has only around 30 members in the Mass. House.  Romney, in 2001, met with Bush and Card in the White House prior to announcing his gubernatorial bid.  Had Cellucci continued as Mass. Gov., any Romney gubernatorial bid would have been effectively blocked. Coincidence and opportunity? Pure chance?  Semi-conspiracy?  Script for a cheesy TV-movie?  Dunno.
