Although GOP activists who worry about losing the corner office often cite Weld as an inspirational figure, it is doubtful that he will be able to deliver large blocs of votes to her.

Well, let's see...Weld got tricked out of office with a promise of being ambassador to Mexico by Clinton (didn't happen...he can't even speak Spanish and he's pro-abortion). So, Celucci, who had no authority over the legislature became Governor. He was elected to the post he inherited because Massachustetts voters seem to realize that gridlock is our best option, and that might happen if the governor is Republican and the legislature is Democrat. But then Celucci becomes ambassador to Canada and we get pathetic Jane Swift as acting Governor (no academy awards here, but it is her actual title). Now, Mitt Romney might have been a viable candidate and instead of taking this alternative, Weld, Brooke etal support Swift. These people don't have a clue that the Repbulicans in this state want a real Republican to run for office.

So, they'll trash Mitt Romney, just to save the remnants of the party for the out-of-touch, not-really-Republican "leadership". And the best we can hope for is the most fiscally conservative Democrat, or some third party Jesse Ventura type who can get a plurality of the vote.

Do they have any idea that the real Republicans in the state almost don't care what they do anymore? These idiots should drop Swift and embrace Romney, or someone else who might be electable.

Right now, I'd probably be more electable than Jane Swift because a nobody would be better than someone who has been such an embarrassment.

Yeah, but would your running mate be, how should I put this, light in the loafers to show your diversity? ;^)
