For some reason I followed the Kennedy-Romney race and, listening to the debates, I came away concluding that if I lived in Massachusetts, this would have been the one occasion in which I would have voted for Kennedy. I try to keep an open mind about Romney because, let’s face it, the pickings are getting pretty slim. But his past, and my past impressions of him, bother me.
Then you should have tried living in the state. You would be more knowledgeable and have fewer reasons to be "bothered".
