Thanks for the information---
The only time I have ever "seen" Romney (other than as the Olympics guy), was during a hearing in Washington re: the marriage amendment, right after the Mass. Supremes decided to make law for all of us Americans out here....he said during that hearing that he would be FOR a marriage amendment...
But, from what you have just told me about him, he may have changed his mind again...
I just figured that any conservative the gets elected in Massachusetts must have something special...LOL
What about the guy that Kerry beat for the Senate a long time ago? Has he dropped out of politics?
Bill Weld (the former gov of MA) ran against Kerry in 1996 I think (only a Libertarian ran against Kerry in 2002). Then Weld wanted to be ambassador to somewhere, insulted Jesse Helms in the process, and Helms put the kibosh to that. Weld went to NY to practice law (and left his wife for a girlfriend). He's made some noises recently about challenging Hillary in NY.
Weld styled himself as social liberal/fiscal conservative. Well, the "social liberal" part he took seriously! He also seems to be something of a dilettante -- he's bright enough, I guess (and personally engaging I hear), but he seems to get bored. He hard against a more thorough conservative for the Rep nomination for governor; once he had the job, he apparently had enough of it sometime into his second term and left.
