This post was uncalled for. I accept any consequence of my childish behavior.

support candidates across the state??? Maybe you could name one for me? Muffy Healy ran a terrible campaign ON HER OWN. What else did you expect Romney to do? I understand you don’t like the guy, but jeez.

He was there just to get his ticket punched. Two years into his first, and only, elected office, he abandoned his duties to go full time campaigning, such was he that the glorious light would shine and illuminate him to the masses in their darkness.

He then spent more than all the other combined and got Butkus.

No common touch. Doesn’t ‘get’ Americans, let alone conservatives. Boring, vague, passive speaker.

Obama also quit, yet continued to collect a massive taxpayer-funded salary, in addition to his wealth from book deals. Obama missed 84% of Senate votes over two full years running for President. Based on his salary, he wasted $288,000 of taxpayer money based on those absences. Obama blasted Hillary's vote for a resolution declaring Iran's Revolutionary Guard a "terrorist" organization--YET HE HAD SKIPPED THE VOTE to campaign in New Hampshire!

Meanwhile Sarah Palin, who clearly will campaign for herself and others over the next 18 months of her term, will save the Alaskan taxpayers $225,000 for a missing governor, and untold travel expenses, instead giving them a full-time engaged governor (Parnell). How does this make her a "quitter" instead of a "good citizen" and "responsible leader"?

Tell these facts to all the a$$hole "Republican" and "Conservative" pundits you hear that call that her a quitter.

I’m talking about legislative candidates. The dismal Republican #’s there only fell further during Mitt’s time because he didn’t use a shred of political capital to help him.

Mitt needed Muffy more than Weld needed Cellucci when running for governor, but Weld gave Cellucci all kinds of opportunities to get positive, substantive coverage throughout his administration, whereas Mitt’s administration was all about Mitt.

Starting?

Mitt's sycophants have never left...

But you're right, nothing more deranged than trying to sell Mitt as a Conservative on a Conservative site...

Wow...

That's just nuts...

The real question remains.

Had he won the primary (had Huckabee not cut a deal with McCain and Guiliani capitulated) he would have run a much tougher campaign than Mac. Assuming that he had also chosen Palin. A Romney/Palin ticket could have won.

When the market was manipulated last fall, Romney is the only one that knows financials and could have taken the lead with the right reaction.

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

I don’t remember Mitt getting (or needing) any help getting elected - other than Swift getting out of the way. The MA Republican Party is in shambles, I’d hardly blame Romney for that. We could discuss this all day, I don’t think we are going to see eye-to-eye.

Cellucci was the only person Weld ostensibly “helped,” but he had just as little use for the GOP, and ultimately showed his own leftist rodent inclinations with endorsing the False Messiah.

No comparison. They are two very different people. Mitt is interested in himself and Palin is interested in the rights of the people.

The MA GOP isn’t in shambles (Weld left it in shambles), it’s dead. Slick Willard buried the corpse.

He is so beautiful to me...

That reminds me of a soap commercial.

You are just in awe of his beauty...

It has you confounded...

Understandable...

Mittens may have us all bewitched, bothered, and bewildered with his supernaturally awesome hair, but we're still not voting for him.

It’s gonna be fun watching you Romney bashers become unglued. Maybe the three years won’t seem so long.
