As a Massachusetts native, I basically agree with Phil's assesment of Mitt Romney's record as governor. I thought he did well enough to deserve a second term, which he decided not to seek. I supported Kerry Healey's ill-fated bid to replace him in 2006. And while I think you have to count his poor performance as a party builder against him, Romney did give it the old college try for his first two years in office. I discussed this at greater length in an NRO piece last March.
