He hasn't even been a "Republican official" for a decade. The only political office he's ever held where he has an actual record is as MA Gov 2003-2006

I'd consider him part of the GOP establishment at least since he came close to taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in 1994.

"since he came close to taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in 1994."


Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat, 1,266,011, 58.1%.
W. Mitt Romney, Republican, 894,005, 41.0%

Hoo-wee, that was a squeaker, all right. ;)
