Gov. Shiny

Gov. Mitt Romney announced yesterday that he wasn't going to seek re-election for the governors office in my fair Commonwealth. Was that a complete surprise? Heck, no. He's not saying one way or another yet whether he's going to run for President in 2008, but reports are he is testing the waters. I think he's been seeking the presidency since he swooped in three years ago from Utah and took the Republican nomination from then sitting governor Jane Swift. Something about it back then didn't sit right with me about the way he did that.

So, it should be for an interesting year to see who will seek the governor's office, and to see if and when Gov. Romney will announce his candidacy for President.
