I say that Romney's real home state is New Hampshire and we'll see if he's going to lose it.
Fine, if his 'real' home state is somewhere different, then Massachusetts is the state where he served as governor under (symbolically) false pretenses. Whether that makes it better or worse I'm honestly not sure.
Symbolically false pretenses? Was he wearing the wrong hat?
Considering that whether or not Romney was 'really' from Massachusetts was in fact an issue in 2002 and it wasn't initially entirely clear whether he was even eligible for Governor under the state constitution...
He has a track record of what his 'real' home state is being ambiguous is my point. Either it's Massachusetts or there just isn't one, in which case the 'pretense' would be that he was from Massachusetts enough to be Governor of it.
And yes, had I been living in New York in 2000 I would have been at least initially highly suspicious of Hillary Clinton.
J.J., even in 1968 most people thought of Nixon as Californian, and rightfully so.
