Governor Mitt Romney has announced that he won’t be announcing his decision about whether to run for re-election until later this year, so as not to cloud the various legislative issues currently under discussion.
On the other hand, his comments that the US will become like France if it doesn’t improve its schools (if I’m not mistaken, they’re already worse than French schools) and that legalizing syringe ownership sends a bad message to kids (the message he wants to send is apparently that addicts in this state are just not sick enough and deserve to get AIDS) indicate to me that he’s going to skip the gubenatorial election and go straight for the White House in ’08. He certainly can’t win another state election if he keeps treating Boston like it’s Salt Lake City.
