Within moments of his announcement, Romney was challenged on his stand on abortion, a hot-button issue in a state that recently has supported fiscally conservative, socially progressive governors.

He said he would support a woman's right to choose.

The correct way to report this is "socially liberal", because there is no cultural "progress" in anything "progressive".

Agreed. Romney is a Dick Riordan RINO but without the repelling arrogance. The real question is whether he would motivate Republicans to vote for him given that on social issues, there's no much difference between him and the Rat he will be facing in November.

He was "challenged" on his stand on abortion within "moments" of announcing his candidacy. Gee, was it a spontaneous outporing by millions of citizens, or could it have been the scumball leftist press raining on his parade on a day of triumph?

Hard to suppose abortion would be an issue in Massachusetts any more. Seems like most of the politicians there are either gay or drunk. How the governor ended up pregnant is puzzling , this may be why she is getting out of politics--needs time to figure it out somehow.
