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.
