I always liked senator “pot hole”, Al D’Amato, He was and is a striaght shooter. Chucky took him out in 98, what a shame.

I heard that when the Romney family goes on vacation, the horse rides on the car roof.

In 2002 IIRC, the acting gov of MA was R-INO Jane Swift who was very unpoplar. She took officer when Gov Paul Cellucci became an ambassador. Swift’s numbers were so bad she withdrew her candidacy and in came Romney on his white horse and wound up winning. (The excuse was given that she wanted to raise her kids...Swift btw lived in Williamstown MA, on the NY border, not exactly close
to Boston, but there were other reasons for her dropping out...)

CNN 2002:
Jane Swift, Massachusetts’ first female governor, dropped her bid for a full term Tuesday, saying she could not run a campaign and govern the state while giving her young children the attention they deserve.

Hours later, fellow Republican Mitt Romney — a wealthy businessman and organizer of the Salt Lake City Olympics — said he would seek the Republican nomination for governor....In a recent Boston Herald poll of likely Republican voters, 75 percent said they would vote for Romney while only 12 percent said they would vote for Swift. Swift said she would support Romney’s campaign.’Speaking to reporters in his hometown of Belmont, Romney said he believes his business skills would be put to good use as governor.

“I’m going to make sure that all of the things that I have learned in management in the past 30 years is used to help average families in Massachusetts,” he said as he stood in the driveway of his home with family members.

Romney, 55, a married father of five, is the founder of Bain Capital, a Boston-based multibillion-dollar holding company.

The son of the late George Romney, former Michigan governor and 1968 presidential candidate, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democrat Edward Kennedy for the U.S. Senate in 1994.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Alex Beam: “In truth, Ronald Reagan
and Mitt Romney have as much in common
as Cardinal O’Malley and Conan O’Brien.
Deservedly or not, Reagan earned a reputation for constancy.
Once he turned against communism, he opposed it big-time.
…. And our former governor? Inconstancy, thy name is Mitt!
A woman’s right to choose? Yes! No! Yes!
Are we in Massachusetts? Yes! Are we in Iowa? No!
Are we on TV? Whatever!”

"National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting. Romney denied the pardon,
twice, despite the recommendation of the Governor's Council."

But the ex-NY GOP senator, now a lobbyist, says Trump is the presumptive nominee and he backs Kasich to be Trump’s vice presidential nominee. “Trump-Kasich would be a powerful ticket,” he said.

There you go.

Romney’s not merely “a spoiled rich kid.” He’s a fool.
