...give or take a few.
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???
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 stateÂ’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.
Did someone mention 'partisan hack'? Yeah.............
