“McCain answered swiftly, accusing the former Massachusetts governor of “wholesale deception of voters. On every one of the issues he has attacked us on, Mitt Romney was for it before he was against it.”
So where’s the deception? That Romney somehow supported Federal legislation created by Mccain from the Governor’s mansion in Mass.?
Has Mccain bumped his head? Governors have nothing to do with creating and putting forth Federal legislation in the Senate!!!!
Not true at all. Just like every state has a legislative liaison from the governor's office to the state legislature, they all have a similar relationship with their representatives in Kongress. These people suggest bills that the state government want pushed at the federal level. They also tell the federal reps how the state government wants them to ote on various issues. The governo is a very influential figure in federal politics. Look at it this way. Is a Kongressional representative more likely to pay attention to a letter you or I write or one written by the governor requesting support or not for a particular piece of legislation?
