Or, you could realise that he stayed in the state he grew up in, because they needed a good conservative governor a lot more than Utah, who was going to get one in any case.

Romney is from MICHIGAN.

Massachussets was a challenge, and people like Romney are drawn to challenges.

You got that right! Even in a liberal state like Massachusetts it was a challenge to outdo Kennedy and the other 'Rats by implementing $50 abortions AND homosexual marriage.

A guy with his eye on the Presidency would trivially know that to be the case, and yet Romney chose the harder path.

Nope, he went where they would embrace his liberalism.

Grew up was the wrong word, because as you said he grew up in Michigan.

He lived most of his ADULT life in Mass. That’s what I meant.
