Still, Romney gave Teddy the closest Senate race he has ever had and at one point, was leading the swimmer in the polls.
He was Teddy Light. People went for the real thing.
Yeah, Romney started out talking tough and sounding like a real conservative. Massachusetts voters thought they finally had somebody to rally behind. But as the race wore on Romney cowered from the Boston Globe and ran to the left like a scared bunny rabbit. In the last debate, he was "me-too"-ing Kennedy like a nervous puppy dog, eager to please his liberal press masters. It was pathetic.
Naturally, Romney lost in a landslide.
