This the same Romney who when ahead of Kennedy by double digits in the early polling for the 94 senate race came out and said "I don't want the support of the extremist NRA or Christian Conservative types"

[Jeff Fuller]

got a source on that?

He pulled close to Kennedy in the race, but never ahead of him from what I understand.

I would be interested in the source of your quote about the NRA and Christian Conservatives. I don't know everything about Romney, but that one is a new one on me . . . maybe you just heard it?

Thank you. I still remember old Mitt trying to run to Teddy's left. The only thing I can figure about the media constantly pimping for these lefty northeastern types, is that they want McCain to look more conservative and become the default candidate of the right. McCain is down is his snake hole right now and nobody has heard him rattle of late.

Romney, Giuliani, Gingrich, McCain. Oy vey. Let us pray...

I don't remember Mitt Romney EVER being ahead of Teddy Kennedy at any time in his bid for Senator. This is WAY too liberal a state to dump Kennedy. The only way they won't vote for him is after he's dead and isn't running anymore. And some will likely still write him in for old time's sake!

Mitt got about 37% of the vote in that race, if I remember correctly; about the same amount that President Bush got. He won the Governor's race because, while the liberal MA residents may like the Dems' social policies, they don't trust them not to raise their taxes.
