BOSTON (AP) -- Republican Mitt Romney is eligible to run for governor, a state board ruled Tuesday, unanimously rejecting Democrats' claim that he doesn't meet Massachusetts' residency requirement because of the time he spent in Utah running the Salt Lake City Olympics.

The ruling apparently lays to rest a dispute that has dominated the governor's race for weeks. The Democrats said they would not appeal.

Totally bone-headed move by MA Democraps. This blew up in their face like Elmer Fudd's gun in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

I think the Dems in this state have done what no other MA Republican has been able to do. They have managed to make Republicans somewhat sympathetic figures at this point. Let's hope they continue to behave like morons!!!
