I thought Rmoney did not want to discuss his governorship in Massachusetts?

I'm in North Carolina and just saw the mother of all ads from the RNC highlighting his rescue of the 2002 Olympic games AND how he brought a balanced budget to Mass.

"The real experience is in Mass. where I found a budget that was badly out of balance." We cut our spending our legislature was 85% Democrat and every one of those 4 years I balanced the budget". "I want to use those experiences to help Americans have a better future".

Ad is called Believe in our Future.

So I guess discussing his record as Gov. of Mass. is now on the table and from what I've read, it's not a good one.



(We're getting slammed here - 3 or 4 really nasty local ads in a row).

It was kept hidden until a few days before (Dem) Governor Deval Patrick's inauguration.

and thanks Rox.

I have the feeling we're all going to be extremely busy factchecking this psycho POS. There's just so many lies it's unreal.

I even had tickets to Patrick's inauguration party. I was really pissed when the mess Romney had left for him was uncovered.

8. The only reason he ran was to build his resume.

He had little interest in what went on in Massachusetts. He spent most of his time in New Hampshire. The last two years he was never around.

Most importantly, "Gov. Romney" sounded better than plain old Mitt Romney in his endless quest for the White House.

We were just a stepping stone on his quest for the white house.

13. The media needs to expose that he wanted to run for reelection but 30% polling ended that illusion.
