When Mr. Romney ran for the Senate against Ted Kennedy, I watched closely from my perch in New Hampshire. We, northern New Englanders, knew that, regardless of news reports to the contrary, it would take a Herculean effort to defeat Squire Ted. Mr. Romney seemed like a nice fellow, and he had, allegedly, pulled off a miracle in bringing in the Denver Olympics on time, on budget, and in the black.

We watched as Mitt ran one of the most inept campaigns seen in modern times in America. He not only lost, he was buried. The outcome was never really in doubt. As they say, the score did not adequately reflect the humiliating nature of the defeat. Mitt made Dukakis look like a genius in his campaign for the White House. Senator Allen seems to have achieved parity with Mitt in his recent re-election defeat, but I need a bit more evidence.

p>Apropos to the article by Mr. Hogberg, it seemed that all that was required for Mitt to change his mind about an issue, was for his opponent to "get in his face" about it. Does that suggest a lack of true core beliefs? I will let you decide for yourself. I merely report the observations from that time and that race. br> -- Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p> p> BLINDER LEADING THE BLIND br> Re: John Tamny's Blinder's Blinders
