— No sooner does Mitt Romney enter the Governor’s race in Massachusetts than acting Gov. Jane Swift withdraws. Boston.com | Latest News | Region. Swift’s poll numbers were a big problem:
The most recent poll showed Romney leading Swift 75 percent to 12 percent if he entered the race.
I wonder how much of this is driven by Swift’s unjust treatment of falsely-convicted Gerald Amirault? At least he now stands some slim chance of getting justice. Bye, Jane – don’t slam down your crown on the way out. Link courtesy of Josh Marshall.
