I agree--what Mitt prob. should have done was "train" her to take over, and then once she knew the ropes, resigned to
let her finish off his term. Then when the Big Dig disaster
happened, guess who's leading those press conferences explaining about the bolts, etc.? Mitt "His Hair Was
Perfect" Romney...and Kerry was just told to stand by
and look concerned.
Can Kerry Healey lead this state? I don't know if she's
hapless--she can be capable if properly trained for the job--
but what the heck is Deval Patrick? The "outsider" (no
govt. experience) who is really the ultimate insider
(here comes Billy Bulger! or at least he was seen
conferring with him...)
And yes, KMH couldn't beat Mike Cahill here in Beverly...
but I think she's grown in the job of Lt Gov. Have heard
her interviewed.
...in other words, even if Mitt hasn't really "trained" her to take over, she still sounds a lot more capable than Patrick
would be!
