Romney Tosses Mitt Into the Ring?

Well, the first step anyway, according to last week's Boston Globe:
Governor Mitt Romney has leased office space near the top of the 60-floor John Hancock Tower, one of the most prestigious addresses in Boston, which aides say he will use in part to raise political funds as he mulls a run for president.

The unusual step will allow Romney, whose national political activities have intensified this year, to receive and entertain national political figures, GOP fund-raisers, and would-be donors to his presidential campaign in private, luxurious surroundings. Visitors to the office will have a spectacular view of Boston and beyond.

Nick:

Your critique is misplaced. When Romney took office, he faced a potential $3.2 billion deficit. In his first two years, Governor Romney trimmed the Massachusetts budget. His FY06 budget request increases state spending by a modest 2.4 percent, rejecting state Democrats' pleas for increased entitlements. Despite the increase, Romney anticipates a $ 15.2 million surplus for FY06.

Friendly advice: research before writing. Accuracy is more persuasive than unsupported, factitious and conclusionary opinion. Like oil and vinegar, stupidity and sarcasm seldom mix.
