This amazes me. Of course, he was the first Republican (of sorts) who started the current Massachusetts string of Republican Governors. This may come to an end as Romney still waffles about running for President (which he proabably shouldn't bother).
Weld also nailed the coffin lid shut on the viability of the Republican party in MA below the Gov's office, too. He was worse than a case of AIDS to the Republicans. He wants to do the same to the NY GOP.
