That does not affect my opinion on Romney, which is merely that I haven't ruled him out.
I live in MA. I know people who have worked for him. In terms of back office administration, he's great. He took a bloated bureaucracy and persuaded liberals to reorganize and improve operational efficiency.
Politically, though, he did his best to hold back the tide against a Democratic legislature and still fell short. I may think he's a better choice than say, Tancredo or Newt, but I don't think he has what it takes to change a national course.
The statement was true about former President George H. W. Bush. Perhaps the article to which he refers wasn't clear in stating WHICH President Bush.
