mitt romney carried the bay state, maine and utah! he spoke at the augusta convention.
the cartoon shows how the local bangor paper saw the events of the convention!!! mitt
was our governor, he had the backing of many of the mainstream republicans. massachusetts
tends to go liberal or independent, and to project himself onto the national stage, he pitched
himself as being more conservative. there is an old thread here going into his shifts...
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=119270 mitt romney has covered
the spectrum in a surprisingly long and energetic political life, he begins life as a senator's son,
and comes very near to the presidency himself. mccain needed his support up in maine and
new england to have things go his way at augusta's state convention and the cartoon captures
how obligatory the process was! again, curiously enough... one of mitt romney's better speeches
that seemed to encapsule his views came when he suspended his campaign. i do respect the man...
