A number of Palin defenders have argued that Mitt Romney similarly cut and run from Massachusetts. While there is an important distinction between resigning office and declining to run for reelection -- Romney served out the entire term to which he was elected -- I basically agree with this criticism. Romney's abandonment of Massachusetts during a critical juncture in fights over health care, the budget, and the definition of marriage was the single greatest factor that shifted me from a Romney-sympathetic commentator to a critic. (The spin of Romney's flip-flops by some of his overzealous supporters played a role too, as did his health care plan.)
****
watching Romney exit the field while so many of the issues he claimed to care about were in play, leaving the commonwealth to suffer one-party Democratic rule for the first time since the Dukakis years without any serious check or challenge, was too much to take. The man who rode back into the Bay State to save the GOP from a certain disaster at the hands of Jane Swift ended up merely delaying the inevitable for four years.

I like the use of the word adamant
Mitt uses big words like that.
Like “Reagan was adamantly ‘pro choice’
If Mitt uses a big or flashy word, whatever the point of the sentence is must be true...
Mitt never lies, he is too pretty.

I actually supported Mitt Romney in the last election.
When is was down to two candidates. Him or McInsane and Mitt couldn't even beat him.

Kind of like being asked

Plus, Romney is a sellout, a phony, and a wuss who walked on eggshells during his primary campaign against McCain. A complete wuss you were, Romney, no cubes whatsoever. No guts, nothing bold about you at all, no aggressive speeches until the speech you gave the day you were dropping out. You are a puss, and we won’t support you, or the likes of you, anymore.
