What chance do you think Romney might have in Massachuetts?
If he runs, barring any major eff-ups, he's the next Governor of the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts likes celebrities and Romney is a celebrity. They won't feel threatened by Romney because he's not a social conservative (though he is likely against things like civil unions-- which Swift was against as well, even though her choice for Lt. Gov. and her step-son support it). If Ted Kennedy dies in office, I'd rather have Romney appoint the replacement.
