Time for a moratorium on Massachusetts-born Presidents. So far we’ve had four of them and the only good one was John Adams. (Although his son wasn’t too bad.)
Bill Weld was not born in MA, but in Smithtown, Long Island, NY. His family has historic ties to MA though, and a long history of studying at Harvard going back to the 1600s. Thus his run for Gov. in MA.
His family also has a long history being in the upper crust. His grandfather helped found White-Weld and Co (a Wall Street investment bank) about 1900.
FWIW I met Weld’s brother some years ago. The brother was a cardiologist working in Manhattan. He was an extremely good doc. And as far as I could see, he was a very kind and honorable man, who pulled more than a few people’s cookies out of the fire. Not that that tells me that much about the Gov’s character.
