Romney for US Senate a pleasant and unprovocative note to the incumbent Governor of Massachusetts:

Dear Mitt(ens)

The Herald today has a poll that indicates in a hypthetical senatorial contest to succeed John Kerry next year, you yourself would be the front runner.
Let humble Elias be the first to say... RUN MITT RUN!!
However please be just a bit consistent with your alleged rock hard principles and RESIGN the governorship to make the race.
After all running for the US Senate is a full time job, retaining the governorship will only inhibit your ability to mesmerize the serfs.
Or so your own logic runs...
Hell weren't you and Kerry Healey your pet poodle demanding much the same from democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry last week?
Oh right I forget, that was last week and as everyone knows the new royalism postulates that the GOP operates by one set of rules, the democrats by another more onerous set of parameters.
Chiefly this means that entitled princelings like you are maniacally committed to whatever gives them the rhetorical advantage over the course of a single news cycle-no matter how trite, inane, cynical, mendacious or contradictory said item may be.
I get in with both feet, who knows you might draw Barney Frank as an opponent, won't that be fun?
And anyway, Kerry Healey s ready for the big time...isn't she???
Sincerely
Elias Nugator, prickly patriot.

Poor Mitt, he really is a rank amateur at this all his reforming bluster aside. The lowest dingbat on the school committee could've told him to ixnay the resignation argument as it could easily be applied to him in elections to come.
Alas the Man from Utah regards Rovian Talking Points as holy writ and thus has neatly painted himself into a corner.
Or not.... again thanks to the GOP's particularly shameless brand of royalism, Mitt could well be campaigning next winter for the US Senate without a care in the world.
NOBODY in the local media will hold him accountable for his outbursts last week no one.
The McGrorys and Lehighs will develop a bad case of "Romnesia"....that endless chant "reform reform reform" just banishes all thought from their heads.

Sick
Demented
and soon to be...
Typical.
