Mitt Happens
In his term as Governor of the Commonwealth, Mitt Romney has kept busy. Early on he spared no effort chasing former Senate President William Bulger out of the presidency of the University of Massachusetts--the office from which Mr. Bulger had attracted vast sums and attention to the school.
Next Governor Romney weighed in on the gay marriage issue, suggesting that civil liberties guaranteed under the state constitution should instead go up for a popular vote.
Now, having amassed a war chest worthy of a 2008 presidential candidate, the governor has decided to give interviews in the national press opposing stem cell research.
All of which leads us to wonder: what ever happened to that "rolodex" Mr. Romney claimed he'd use to bring jobs to Massachusetts?
You remember Massachusetts, don't you? The place with all the biotech companies and universities staffed by people who vacation in Provincetown?
