“Pretty interesting stuff ... Pawlenty raising a good bit of money as well...this is “stump money” that they will use to promote other Republicans, not “campaign money” directly for themselves...magritte”
Scott Brown’s candidacy was largely run by Romney affiliates and in conjunction with Romney himself. It’s but one of the reasons Brown publically acknowleged him shortly after winning election.
Romney gets a bad name around here, and I guess I’m even more skeptical of him of him than I was leading up to the primaries (At the time, I didn’t think we had a good candidate, which was in part true. Fred Thompson’s campaign was run like a sinking balloon the whole way, and despite the fact that I’ve really become a big fan of Fred Thompson, he fumbled royally leading up to 2008) (and need we not forget healthcare in Mass).
Still, there’s very much a part of me that trusts him on economic matters. He was around saying he’d cut the budget by 1% back in 2007. Life would be a lot better for all of us if we had a President who did just that.
There will be those who never forgive the guy and never fully trust him. So be it. I have more of an open mind.
Mitt Romney was the fourth Republican Governor in a row for Massachusetts, a state that generally elects Republican Governors, but the streak ended with him because he sucks. Most of us here do not want to promote him to failed, one term, anti conservative, President.
