#3 Mitt's an empty suit. The reason he's outta here is that he can't get anything done even when dealing with the Mensa candidates in the Mass Legislature. Decent guy, half decent governor, but I can't see him facing down the Chinese or the North Koreans.

#4 Same thing I thought about the actor who hung around with monkeys and the Kid who got to run baseball tems after he went on the wagon. Not touting him, but if Mitt can fix the big dig, I'd like to see a lot more of him before making up my mind.

#5 Believe me, the Big Dig is far from being fixed...

#7 Heh, in dealing with the Massachusetts Mensa clowns he had to play by a set of rules which prevent success - all they hadta do was coordinate the graft. He shoulda resurrected Murder Inc and whacked several of them to get their attention. That might have helped. Maybe.

Anyway, thanks for your take - I find Romney interesting but have no idea about how others see him - and youse guys know him best. Would you say you're being hardcore cynical - or not? I guess I'm hoping you'll give me / us a peek at what you think the general MA opinion of him is - sans the satisfying fun bits...

#9 The Soviet Union is no longer the Soviet Union due to the efforts of three people from the late 20th century: Ronald Reagan, JPII, and Maggie Thatcher.

If that magnificent old broard says this guy Romney is okay, then I willing to keep an open mind.

#10 "been a Mormon missionary as a young man in France."

Speaks well for him - he could have asked to be sent to someplace civilized... like the Congo....
