Murdock Clubs Romney

Deroy Murdock does the type of analysis of Romney's record in Massachusetts ("Mitt Romney vs. Rudy Giuliani" on National Review Online) that you'd expect the Club for Growth to do. Of course, that presumes the Club for Growth is interested in reflecting poorly on anyone other than Huckabee.

After comparing Romney's economic record unfavorably to Giuliani's, Murdock writes:
"It would be easier to draw parallels if, like Giuliani, Romney had won reelection, rather than duck a second-term bid that experts widely predicted he would lose. Romney explained to the Boston Globe that he stood aside because, “There was very little that had to spill into a second term that we had any prospects of ever getting done.” So, what remains to recommend Romney? No doubt, he showed how to succeed in business by founding Bain Capital, which flourishes today. Also, Romney is smooth, charismatic, and handsome. Someday, he could portray George Clooney’s older brother in Ocean’s 14. But, given his flimsy gubernatorial legacy, that doesn’t mean much. In essence, Mitt Romney is just another pretty face.
Ouch.

S what you are saying is Chief Rudy Shill wrote a story that distorts both Rudy's and Romney's record in opposite directions?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Real class act you have here.

Class? You mean like shilling anonymously?

In any event, that's not what I was saying, but thanks for checking in . . .
