Right, he's so unelectable he managed to get elected governor of a state./sarcasm

That's right, spending record amounts of personal funds in every election and in his entire political record he managed to become the fourth republican governor in a row in a state that he left in democrat control because he didn't stand a chance of reelection. His dismal showing in a presidential primary with the weakest field that we have ever seen and him being the only one with money and organization only reinforces that he is unelectable. Even now he still seems to be a career politician with gobs of money and a cult of followers desperately in search of a constituency.

ansel12: "Mitt Romney is an unelectable politician"

curiosity: "Right, he's so unelectable he managed to get elected governor of a state./sarcasm"

ansel12 is correct. Romney was a one-time governor who was an economic
and moral disaster. Absolute disaster carpetbagger, who BTW has since FLED Massachusetts

Romney was a piss-poor Governor. Romney got a "C" rating from CATO. And that was BEFORE
Romney's Socialized medicine and coverup of the BIGdig kicked in. So the RomneyBOTs try to "spin history".
Note also that Romney also betrayed President Bush as Governor
(predicting what TeamROMNEY would do later in Election2008 to Gov. Palin, and then the GOP - i.e. Romney-backstabbing),
because Romney was also against the conservative tax cuts. Here are the facts from CATO.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Pres. Reagan commenting on Mr. Romney's fascism, socialism, dirty tricks,
attacks on GOP candidates, appointment of liberal judges, and Romney's just-bad judgment.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
