Isn’t this a little like the Pot calling the kettle black?

“Anti-tax advocates are scrutinizing Mitt Romney’s (R) record as governor of Massachusetts and focusing on the fact that he increased fees in the state by $500 million and proposed nearly $400 million in business tax increases...

The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, published a fiscal-policy report card for 2006 that gave Romney a C grade, ranking him behind 11 other governors, including Democratic White House hopeful Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico.

First, The fact that they gave Richardson such a high grade tends to render their conclusions nearly irrelevant. Second, Romney raised fees, not taxes--- there is a difference, however slight, that is not merely trivial. Third, however mixed his economic record is, it obviously shines next to that McCain's, who apart from his support of free trade has been to the left of his party on every single economic issue of importance.
