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.

Now that is business acumen!
Whew Doggies...
Weld unquestionably went bad—but at least he was good before he went bad. He was too enamored with the criminal Billy Bulger, but still when he was making deals it was for tax cuts. The Republican Party unquestionably declined in Weld’s second term, but it had increased—due to both Weld’s popularity and efforts—back in his first term. Pierce didn’t have a prayer of being voted in statewide, and the dilettante, bored Weld (a typical blueblood, Northeastern libertarian Republican—the kind that have been flipping for the last 15 years) did leave a strong enough legacy that the overwhelmingly Democrat electorate voted for Republican governors for years thereafter.
Do you include wanting to punish JimRob in your desire to see an epic fail Socialist fraud become President ?

You're in for a big diappointment.
I mean if you want Mitt in, might as well cut out the middle man and save so time and get Obamacare in now, that way it will free Mitt from having to try it in his first term...
If he wins (and he wont), hell will be the least of our worries...
The problem was that this guy was bad news from the start. He was part of the leftist GOP ticket that opposed Conservative Democrat (and future Republican) Ed King in 1978 when Dukakis’s angry liberal supporters went to vote for the GOP. MA may have gotten 16 years of GOP Governors, but at the cost of leaving the party completely dead and incapable of being a competitive and viable opposition party. Absent Pierce, the state would’ve been better off voting in DINO John Silber in ‘90.
It's that non-interventionalist foreign policy you embrace, isn't it?
Let's see those Letters of Marque and Reprisal... ;-)
Geesh, don't be in such a hurry to restrict yourself to just having fun watching ... at least Arator made it to September after an election year before he got the zot ...
I mean to support Mitt, say you are a 'Conservative" and try and sell him to actual Conservatives on the biggest conservative sites on the WWW, and at the same time saying those who oppose you have a mental disease...
You really can't make this stuff up can you?
Did Michael Wiener get a payoff from Slick Willard ?
But,but...Mitt is our only hope....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Arrgh...
Silber would have been at least as entertaining anyway!
(Not a man who had the patience for government, I think.)
I guess not. Those Mittens are sweet, aren’t they?
What’s with the war paint? Is he one of those fake injuns at Mountain Meadows?
I don’t know. :(
That’s one adjective I guess...

He is the more adamanter of the massacreies (i think)
