Mitt's Massachusetts Posse
NASHUA, NH -- A crew of allies from south of the border joined Mitt Romney on the campaign trail today.
Among those at an Ask Mitt Anything here today were Romney's former lieutenant governor, Kerry Healey; Ron Kaufman, the state GOP's national committeeman and a top Romney adviser; state Representative Paul K. Frost, a Republican from Auburn; House Minority Leader Brad Jones and Barbara Anderson of Citizens for Limited Taxation.
The Massachusetts crew proved useful in helping Romney use the state that elected him governor as a foil for his conservative platform. Romney declared that if she moved to New Hampshire -- which has no sales, income or capital gains tax -- Anderson might "just die and go to heaven."
Romney also introduced Jones to the crowd.
"Can you imagine being a Republican in the State House of Massachusetts?" he said, as the crowd laughed. "He's my hero; he's the best."

It's easy to be a Republican Governor in Mass. when you are soft on second amendment, increase fees not taxes (except NH workers in Mass), hire illegal immigrants and pretend to want to do something about immigration. Most people that consider themselves Republican in Mass. are almost approaching the center not even quite the left of being conservative.
I won't get into flip flopping on pro-life, gay marriage, taking from towns to make state budget positve and a long history of his family with Bush's, and forced mandated health insurance as a solution (not free choice and a very threatening letter that came along with it).
Although he is a very pretty man!!!
