Casting about for a viable GOP candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Republicans are looking to two key members of Team Romney who dramatically raised their national profiles during last year’s presidential contest: Ann Romney, the wife of the candidate, and Taggart “Tagg” Romney, the candidate’s oldest son. The Boston Herald reported Saturday that party leaders are talking about Mrs. Romney, even though she has expressed no interest in the seat and has never run for public office. A special election will be held June 25 to replace Mr. Kerry, who is leaving to take over as secretary of state in the Obama administration. Mrs. Romney was considered one of Mitt Romney’s biggest assets on the campaign trail, and her story of surviving multiple sclerosis and her well-received GOP convention speech have made her a popular figure in Massachusetts, according to the Herald’s Hillary Chabot. Republicans are also talking about Tagg Romney, 42, who was one of his father’s chief advisers during the campaign. Like his father, Mr. Romney has worked as a venture capitalist.

Typical GOP idiocy.
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
What conservative is dumb enough to sacrifice him/herself on the liberal Massachusetts altar?
Conservative? I saw no conservatives mentioned in the article. Only Romney's, and one of them already did.

Exactly. Why would a conservative sacrifice him/herself on the liberal Massachusetts altar?
I think they want a Romney largely because a conservative is not likely to ever win in Massachusetts in a race at this level. Mitt himself is only a conservative when the acting role requires him to put that persona on his shoulders. He is more oppertunist than anything political spectrum-wise.
If he changes his name to Fagg Romney, the massholes will elect him.
The Calfag voters are just as stupid as the massholes.
Exactly. Why would a conservative sacrifice him/herself on the liberal Massachusetts altar? The article mentions Republicans and Romney's. Neither has anything to do with conservatives. I'll bet one of the Romney's will take the Republicans up on the offer though. And what a perfect indicator of the Republican mindset! Pick one of two liberals, from a liberal family, with absolutely ZERO political experience, to sit on the US Senate! Incredible. Another example of why I cannot and will not vote for your run of the mill Republican.

No they won't, and the fact you think they will is a good example of how incredibly ignorant and naive you are about the Romneys and Republican politics in general.
Yeah. Right. You post like I have hurt your feelings sometime in the past. Good, chalk one up for me.

He's not a conservative. He just plays one when the cameras start rolling. He governs like a socialist.
