I was very shocked myself at that margin for Healey, though I guess the primary voters bought into the line that putting two rich white guys on the ticket might turn off people in the general. Apparently Mitt hasn't taken a look at the ENTIRE Congressional delegation lately.
"Healey doesn't show me much. She seems like the kind of bland patrician do-gooder who should be heading up some non-profit agency instead of running for elective office. Oh well, maybe at the very least she'll be able to avoid embarassing herself the way Swift always seemed to."
I wouldn't bet the farm on the latter. But, for heavens sake, Romney should've at least picked a running mate (if it wasn't to be Rappaport) who could at least win their own friggin' balliwick for a race as insignificant as State Rep !
"If Romney does leave for greener pastures, the Dems WILL crush Healey like an elephant on top of a paper cup, even with your hackiest-hack Dem opponent."
"So what you're saying is that will finally be Tom Birmingham's big chance?"
I'm kinda hoping for a comeback by John Silber. Now he would've been a GREAT Governor. Somebody who would've simulataneously pissed off most of his fellow Dems AND the RINOs. It doesn't get any better than that !
