I’m from Massachusetts. I’ve seen Romney in action, running for office and in office. He’ll be no middle of the roader. Remember Lincoln Chafee? That’ll be Mitt Romney.
Just so. Romney was responsible for the first legalization of gay marriage, just before he left office in Massachusetts. That was a huge, terrible tipping point. Before then, even the most liberal politicians were worried that the voters would throw them out of office if they openly legalized gay marriage.
