From the Globe: "Amorello said he's confident that 200-foot section is the only area of the Big Dig project where the type of tiebacks that failed were used. Those ceiling panels were erected in 1999 and the contractor was Modern Continental, he said.

Mitt was sworn in as Governor in January 2003, FOUR YEARS LATER. Most reasonable people would conclude that Mitt had nothing to do with the shoddy, Union workmanship that took place years before he even ran for governor.

From the Big Dig website: "The project has been under construction since late 1991. Preliminary design began in the 1980's and final design began in the late 1980's. As of the summer of 2004, construction was 94 percent complete."

So, by the time Mitt was sworn into office, the project was already over 90 percent completed. Again, a reasonable person would conclude that Mitt had nothing to do with the crappy work done on either the Ted Williams tunnel (which was opened in 1995, 7 to 8 years before Mitt was sworn in.), the bridge (which was completed in 1999 (four years before Mitt) or the depression of the central artery (which was well underway in 2003).

So, according to your theory, the Big Dig, which has been in the works for 25 years, with all of it's related corruption, hackery and political glad handing, is all the fault of the man who has held the office of governor for the last 3 years. Your conclusion indicates an irrational political bias that is not supported by any facts.

As a Governor he has been in a position to REMOVE FAT MATT AND HAS NOT. Is that clear? I said nothing about Romney personally pouring the concrete, your boyhood friend FAILED TO ACT when he could have and a woman is dead--He will not win NH we real Conservatives understand that he is a 1 term Governor with NO other political experiance, we read the papers daily--good luck supporting someone who directly or indirectly contributed to last nights tragedy.
