At GOP debate, Romney deletes '94 Senate run from political bio
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-debate-romney-deletes-senate-run-from-political-bio-20120126,0,7200219.storyMitt Romney said at the Republican presidential debate in Jacksonville Thursday night that he was not “terribly politically involved” until he ran for governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
That statement, of course, omits his failed run for theU.S. Senateagainst Ted Kennedy in 1994.

“I was looking at politics from afar and learning as I went on,” Romney said, adding that he was asked to rescue the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City and then persuaded by friends back home in Massachusetts to run for governor as a Republican. “That’s when I became terribly politically involved,” Romney said.

What he's looking at from afar is reality. What he's doing as he goes on is opportunistic lying.
