Poor Mitt

This is fabulous.

The Massachusetts Republican party isn't very large, nor successful in elections across our fair state. But, we do have to unfortunately claim Mitt Romney as our most recent governor. It's hard to believe that voters in this state allowed him to muscle his way to the front of the line in 2002, simply to line himself up to run for president in 2008. Surprisingly enough, none of our former Republican governors (the three preceeding Romney) are endorsing him - they're going for McCain or Guliani.

But, we are finding that the Massachusetts Republican Party might have some balls after all - some of them are launching an "anti-Mitt" website. Yup, you heard me right. It's not Democrats who are doing it, but his own party. What a hoot.

BOSTON --A group of Massachusetts Republicans is planning to launch a Web site on Monday that highlights flip-flops in the record of their former leader, presidential contender Mitt Romney.

The so-called Massachusetts Republicans for Truth is also pledging to run radio and television ads across the country as Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, seeks the 2008 GOP presidential nomination.

He has acknowledged changing from a supporter of abortion rights to an opponent, and recently signed a no-new-taxes pledge that his gubernatorial spokesman had previously labeled "gimmickry." During a 1994 Senate race, Romney also pledged to be more effective in fighting for gay rights than his opponent, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., although today Romney highlights his ardent opposition to gay marriage.

Let me just say that Romney was a ridiculous governor, rarely showing up for anything unless there was a television camera involved. My hope is that the rest of the country understands that he literally is as in-credible a candidate as any in the GOP.
