Obama's lead in Mass.

[rwork]

If Romney was so good in Mass., and left the state in such great shape, would'nt that show up in his Mass., poll numbers?

Obama leads by 30 points.

Think what Romney would do to the US in 4 years.

1. They know Romney. They've had 4 years of him. nt

[madokie]

2. Of course they would

His numbers there reflects on the kind of person, governor and asshole he is

[BumRushDaShow]

3. He is losing all of his "home" states by double-digits. n/t

4. MA is a blue state

I can't see any republican winning that in a national election.
He won at the time because of his weak opponent and the bad economy of the state.

People were desperate to try anything new

7. Don't they have a Republican senator by the

name of Brown.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. They've had rethug governors too before Rmoney

I.e., William Weld, Paul Cellucci, & Jane Swift.

But the last time MA voted for a rethug President was 1984.

And this is why I always wondered why election after election, the lamestream media kept calling PA a "swing state" when we hadn't voted for a rethug President since 1988 and had similar turnover of rethug vs Dem governors as so-called "blue" states like MA & NJ.

9. They do

Yea but other than Regan has a republican ever won MA in a national election?

I can't think of one. Brown won due to Obama care.
I know it's not popular to say this here but the majority of MA democrats were against it.( or just disgusted with how congress and the senate were doing) so many stayed home
It was not a popular bill among many democrats in most states.

11. Well isn't Obamacare basically Romneycare and I had the

impression the people in MA liked Romneycare.

[former-republican]

13. very mixed feelings

I live in CT so know alot of MA residents

[Marrah_G]

15. Not for long

[Dawson Leery]

14. Romney should be closer than 30 points.

As a former Governor, Romney should be able to score in the 43-45% range. He is stuck in the low 30's.

[MANative]

5. The vast majority of my friends and family who lived there during his "reign"...

absolutely despise him. In particular, my uncle, who recently retired from the Court system, HATES the man.

[aikoaiko]

6. That and he's no longer the Mittens who campaigned in MA 10 years ago

[IMG][/IMG]

He drank the tea party kool-aid.

[William769]

10. Great news!

[Tracer]

12. rMoney just wanted the "title" of governor.

Just like he want's the title of "President".

Just two years into his term as Governor, he started campaigning around the country for the 2008 Republican nomination -- and spent the next two years absolutely trashing Massachusetts.

People around her don't forget that.

16. K & R....keep kicking n/t
