How do you get elected in MA? By running a little to the left. There are so little “red” areas in MA. That's life and that's politics. He governed that state the best way that he could, and I think he did okay.

I think a lot of people miss that point. Politics is the art of the possible. A moderate Republican has a shot at getting elected in Mass. A conservative Republican simply does not. I think Romeny did a good job as governor of Mass., given the political restraints imposed on him by the people of that State.

I supported Romney in the primaries, though it was all over by the time I had a chance to vote in mine. From all indications, Romney is now doing his best to support the McCain/Plain ticket. I'm not sure what all this vitriol directed against him is supposed to accomplish.

Then I guess one just has to COMPRIMISE his principles then!
