Disagree - in MA is had to deal with a heavy socialist legislature, judiciary and state government.
In WDC he will have a Republican House and Senate.
That didn't require him to use his office to equate sodomy with marriage. And while a socialist legislature might have moderated his court picks, according to reports he picked some extreme liberals.
Romney's first act after being assured the Republican nomination was to name an open sodomizer as his chief spokesperson. Does that scream conservative to you? Because it screams flaming liberal to me!
