The Mass GOP primary race for Governor will hav lasted approximately one hour.

This is pretty silly. Just this morning Swift was challenging Romney to a debate after it is obvious he will run. NOw she is dropping out. Wacky.

Woo Hoo! Swift seemed pretty weak IMHO. I just wish Romney would have run against John Kerry. Would love to seat THAT guy go down in defeat.

Go Romney! Oh wait, he's not "100%" on every issue. Vote Libertarian!

Does experience with bribery associated with the Salt Lake Olympics enhance his candidacy in Massachusetts?

Its not been a good year for RINOs. First Dick Riordan, now Jane Swift. Do we see a pattern emerging here?

I thought Romney came in after the bribery scandal. He did a good job cleaning up the mess and ran a successful Olympics. Maybe he can do the same in Mass.

Does "cleaning up" mean profiting from the crime and making sure that no one goes to jail? Looks as if that's the way it's going. Salt Lake City profits from the Olympics and the bribers are still being "investigated". Everyone wins.

Those internal polls must have been pretty horrendous. A Herald poll on Sunday had Mitt Romney over Swift by 77-12%. I suspect internal polls showed an even wider margin than that. As soon as the "draft-Mitt" campaign got underway, Swift was toast. Had she been the GOP candidate for governor this year, the Democrats might as well have started measuring the curtains in the corner office now.

I think Mitt Romney has an excellent chance to revitalize the GOP in Massachusetts. The events of the past few weeks have been very refreshing here in Massachusetts.

Didn't Romney give Ted Kennedy the only real competition in all of TEDDY BARE'S sorry senate career?
