Why do you think Romney ran in one of the most liberal states in the union? Because he is a liberal, that’s why. He could have never won in a conservative leaning state.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
Romney is a liberal, he always has been and he always will be.
You all may be right, but I don’t feel it. He ran in Mass to demonstrate a Republican could win and work with NE liberals which he would need to win a presidential election, or so his thinking was 10 years ago.
