Romney has clearly shown he is independent-minded, clear thinking and bold as well. Governing conservatively in a red state isnt heavy political lifting, it is more like rolling off a log. Romney, in true blue Massachusetts, was fighting upstream against raging left-wing rapids and he held the line against an 85% liberal legislature. His veto record gives us an idea of how independent-minded and bold he can be:
Over the course of four budgets, Governor Romney made over 300 line-item reductions, 350 line-item eliminations and struck language 150 times. In total, Gov. Romney issued 844 vetoes during his administration.

Not only that Romney has been applauded by the business community and people like Larry Kudlow many times for his unusually savvy and brilliant acumen for starting and proliferating businesses into success.

Romneys record also gives an idea how as governor he provided a guarantee that Planned Parenthood would have a representative on his MassHealth Payment Policy Advisory Board.

“Romney has clearly shown he is independent-minded, clear thinking and bold as well.”
But did you see how Romney responded to Thompson’s lead in the debate during this moment as seen on the youtube video?

First Romney tries to raise his hand in complete obedience with the moderator, then he does a 180 and falls in line with Thompson. Romney himself clearly sees Thompson as a leader.
