This article pretty much sums up the attitude of Boston’s Left toward Mitt Romney as he reaches out for a nationwide stage. To summarize: Mitt has done nothing good for Massachusetts but he’s good at promoting himself. At some point, this attitude will have to confront the harsh reality of the Massachusetts economy, which has done very well. Mitt is widely recognized as a capable manager and will run on his record of competence, which will likely trump the claims of the left. But it’s interesting to see the Left’s talking points.
UPDATE: Check out this amazingly positive article in today’s NRO by Rich Lowry on Romney. Lowry is a very respected political analyst, and he touts Romney as either number two or three behind McCain. Wow!
