The Traveling Governors

I'm not a big Romney fan, but I'm also not a fan of hypocrites.

Didn't Patrick take a trip to San Diego recently for the "biotech" conference and a visit to Washington and Hollywood?

Then shaddup!!! You are both shit as far as I can tell!


"Romney to head west, to hostile turf, for GOP

DENVER - Mitt Romney, who is under serious consideration as Republican John McCain's running mate, will venture into enemy territory today to promote McCain's cause.

He plans to be in Denver for a luncheon with reporters sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. Then, he is slated to hold a news conference at the Republican National Committee's "Not Ready '08 Response Center," about a mile from the Pepsi Center where Democrats are gathered for their convention. The RNC has a new slogan for its attacks on Obama, playing off the host city's nickname: "A Mile High, An Inch Deep."

Romney has been one of the most active and vocal surrogates for McCain. But Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts yesterday offered some mild criticism of his predecessor when asked to comment on Romney's prospects to be the GOP vice presidential nominee.

"I think that Romney is a fine man, and he's always been decent to me, but I have a very serious concern and I think the people of Massachusetts had about his engagement in the job of governor of Massachusetts," Patrick told reporters after addressing the Bay State delegation.

"He spent, what was it, almost 300 days of the last year of his office out of state, and it was indicative of how little attention he was paying to us, and we've got some serious challenges. But let's just see what John McCain does."

Where is he saying that from? Denver, COLORADO?

Romney, the Globe calculated shortly before he left office, spent all or part of 219 days outside of Massachusetts during 2006, his last year in office. He was exploring his presidential prospects, in part as chairman of the Republican Governors Association (Boston Globe)."

And get a load of this:

"American dream is focus of Patrick's Denver speech

DENVER - Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts said his remarks to the Democratic convention tonight will be about redeeming the American story and the American dream, which he described as being "at risk" in today's global environment.

Patrick, a close friend and confidant of nominee Barack Obama, said this is the first party convention he has attended as a participant.

Patrick is making a quick turnaround. He left Denver last night to return to Massachusetts to attend a funeral this morning for a soldier from Mashpee, before heading back West this afternoon in time for his speech (Boston Globe)."

Now, it is not like the governor should blow off a death of a vet, he shouldn't; however, WHAT is the CARBON FOOTPRINT on that?

Maybe he should have WAITED to go to the party, huh?

That dead soldier won't be attending any!
