The problem with Massachusetts is that you cannot be there as long as Romney's tenure, without getting the socialism all over you. No matter how hard he rubs, it all will not come off ---

How could a governor have a voting record?

[afortiori]

Massachusetts Dems Give Romney an F- Grade!

Notice: "The Mass Scorecard publicizes the voting records of all Massachusetts legislators in comparison to the Democratic Party platform."

Romney is listed in opposition to every Dem platform issue except one, an increase in the state health care program for the poor. Only 1 out of 22 with Dems -- less than 5%. Less than 60% is listed as an F.

The guy's entire record as governor IS conservative (he always anti-gay marriage, and vetoed numerous anti-life legislation).

However, there are two things which gets him in trouble with the skeptics:

1. His pro-choice statements in 1994/2002. Acting pro-life from 2003+ does not do him any good with some skeptics.

2. His signature achievement in health care legislation which the Heritage Foundation designed as the conservative alternative to universal health care.

But if you are opened minded, then look over this think and ask yourself if that is a conservative record or not?

Good point. The one thing I can't understand is the knee-jerk claim on FR that some folks exercise in calling Romney a RINO. Seems the term has lost its meaning and just become a general slur.

Romney's been solidly in the Republican camp -- note: not always the most conservative camp -- on the vast majority of issues. When he was pro-abortion, he was (sadly) a pretty solid republican who was pro-abortion.

“Massachusetts Dems Give Romney an F- Grade!”

Then he must be just about perfect.
