Romney’s biggest success isn’t that dopey bill - it’s that he was elected Governor of FReakin’ Massachusetts. That is an accomplishment to me, I don’t really care if anyone else thinks it is, or not.
I’ve come to realize that no one I would ever really, truly, enthusiastically, fawningly support has a ghost of a chance of becoming President. So given that truth, I just want the best we can get. Romney is in the mix. It’s just the truth.
Even George Washington couldn’t get elected in these times, given his tobacco farming and Indian terrorist problems. It’s so friggin’ unrealistic out there now.
Romney was the fourth Republican Massachusetts Governor in a row, Republicans traditionally win that office.
Romney did so badly in office that he couldn't win reelection (he wanted to) and he left office with 34% approval and the Democrats gained the seat.
