He did it in Massachusetts I see no reason why couldn't do it again he sure couldn't do any worse in reaching across the aisle than Obama has.
no he didn't,he had almost 800 vetoes and refused to ride the elevator with legislators.

How often were Mitt Romney's Massachusetts vetoes overridden? | masslive.com
So how often were Romneys vetoes upheld?
This issue was examined by several media agencies during Romneys 2008 presidential campaign and the answer is, rarely, given the heavily Democratic legislature that Romney faced in Massachusetts.
Factcheck.org reported, based on an independently-obtained list of veto override votes, that out of more than 800 budget line-item vetoes during Romneys four years as governor, 707 were overridden. A separate Factcheck.org post put the exact number of Romneys vetoes at 844 and noted that more than 700 were overridden.
The Boston Globe reported that in 100 instances Democrats did not challenge Romney and his vetoes stood. In cases when the Senate challenged him, Romney was overridden every time. When the House challenged him, Romney was overridden more than 99 percent of time, the Globe reported, based on statistics from the House minority leaders office
