I live in Massachusetts, and voted for Mitt. He was a timid, managerial, ticket-puncher that used the state as a resume buffing exercise for his true goal of running for President.
Mitt never want any local Massachusetts office. He didn’t want to get into and mix it up in the very dirty, rough and desperate politics of this state.
His first run for office was for Ted Kennedy’s seat. He could of won it if he wasn’t such a stiff. Which, he is still. A nice stiff. A clean stiff, with a photo perfect family. But, a stiff never the less.
I don’t know why he didn’t run against Fat Ted again, I just figure as Mitt the water testing, number crunching, risk adverse stiff that he is, decided that he should find weaker opponents. Which to his learning curve, he did.
I can say that Ted Kennedy will eat him alive. Ted knows that even in his dotage, he kicked a clean cut, real businessman, honest, well educated Mitt all over the mat, and Mitt never came back for more.
Which kind of fits into my long years of watching Mitt. If he meets a determined obstacle, he just carpementlizes it and moves on. This should be really good for Washington.
Mitt should of run for a congressional seat. He really would of learned and changed with down in the dirt, retail politics. Alas, he didn’t. It would of been too ethnic for him. Too plebeian.
Post 49 equates Mitt Romney with Jim Jones - killing people with Kool-Aid. That is horrible. Mitt Romney is a fine Christian family man.
You are not using sarcasm - those are cheap - very cheap - shots.
