And no, I'm not going to provide links, pie charts, graphs or anything else. I happen to think the posters here are not as stupid as some believe and are quite capable of looking up info if they are interested and making up their own minds.
Romney was a good governor of this state. How many people know that he never accepted the governor's salary when he was governor?
Too bad Romney can't run on his excellent signature legislative achievement with the current GOP makeup His policies as Gov. of Mass. were very "typical Republican", for what a Republican used to be. It's sad to see him pretend to be something he isn't, just to please the dominant wingnuts in the current version of "Republicanism".
