Question:

Has any other presidential candidate ever been such a terrible governor that he ended up losing the state he was governor of by that huge a margin???

Al Gore was a terrible enough U.S. Senator that he lost his home state of Tennessee in the 2000 Presidential election.

Massachusetts is a black hole of leftist politicians and unprecedented corruption that would make CHICAGO blush.

A state that produced such people as the Kennedy clan, Barney Frank, Sacco and Vanzetti, Whitey Bulger, and numerous other "luminaries", and has been a leftist STRONGHOLD for DECADES, has ZERO credibility in the "real" world.

Mitt Romney had to deal with a Massachusetts legislature that was completely dominated by Massachusetts political machine DEMOCRATS.

Romney had over 700 vetoes overridden in his four years as Governor of Massachusetts.

Romney was virtually POWERLESS as the Governor of Massachusetts. ANYTHING that happened during Romney's four years as Governor, was the result of what the Democrat-dominated Massachusetts LEGISLATURE wanted.
 
What about Scott Brown?

A new Boston Globe poll shows that the race between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren is essentially tied, with ample opportunity for both candidates to win the nation’s most expensive Senate contest seven days from now. The survey indicates that Brown holds a razor-thin 45 percent to 43 percent lead over Warren among likely voters, well within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Brown’s lead evaporates, with 47 percent for each candidate, when voters who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward. The poll is a reversal of results of a September Globe survey that showed Warren ahead 43 percent to 38 percent, as well as several other recent polls that have found Warren with a slight lead. The shift underscores the belief, long held by both sides, that the race, active for more than a year, would be competitive until the end.

Actually considering what he had to work with(Democratic legislature)he was not a terrible Governor.

Romney's first couple of years in office were spent dealing with my state’s budget crisis. He was successful in closing the budget shortfall without raising the state sales or income tax. Property taxes went up however. He raised revenues and cut spending.

Job growth happened but was pretty slow although unemployment did go down while he was Governor.

I would say he was a mixed bag as a Governor in a state of all Ds but he would still be a much better President than Obama imo. Terrible? No one I know who lives in Mass would agree he was "terrible" unless they are partisan hacks.

you don't get out enough

when he bothered to hang around at all, he was mediocre

the last 2+ years of his term, he was running around the country pandering to the base.

he sucked.

Why does that sound sooooo familiar?
 
reagan was never governor of mass and he carried it twice.

hmmmmm

True!

Plus the fact that Mass elects R governors frequently since 1858.
Governor of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wonder why that is?

Additional fact: one can vote for an R gov, yet still cast their ballot for a D President.

:D

We have many unenrolled registered voters here. I am proudly one and have been for years. I believe 53% at last count. We also have 35% Democrat and 11% Republican.
