What a load! The Mittster is not even the most liberal Massachusetts Governor of the last decade.

I suppose being the first governor in the United States to pass socialized medicine doesn't count as liberal. It was an unprecedented encroach by the state government.
- Umm, that might be a slight case of denial you have there, better get it checked out.

Please riddle me this, cowboy:

Who is more liberal? Mitt Romney or Deval Patrick?

Ask Tom Birmingham (former Democrat president of the MA senate) who HE believes was responsible for socialized medicine in Massachusetts. He will tell you it was the Democratic legislature. Birmingham doesn't want Romney getting credit for what he considers a marvelous accomplishment by the Democrats in MA.

Romney was a figurehead. The permanent fixtures at the state house (IOW the legislative ruling class that watches while governors come and go) will tell you that his main focus was running for president during the time he was governor.
