As NeoCaveman responded last night when I asked him the following question:
Me: ...why did he bother to write a letter to the editor of a Salt Lake newspaper, saying...? "I do not wish to be labeled pro-choice." [This, being in the midst of his pro-abortions years] (Source for quote: Mitt Romney, Letter to the Editor, The Salt Lake Tribune, 7/12/01)
NeoCaveman: Maybe he had pondered running for governor in Utah instead of in Sodom on the Puget Sound?
You can take it as a slam by me on Governor Romney but it really isn’t.
Speaking only for myself:
If I was running in Utah I could be myself. If I was running in Massachusetts I’d have to work off the rough edges and make some status quo pledges on things I couldn’t change anyways if I wanted to get elected.
