Romney is a Fraud

The Leader of the Back

Boston's broadsheet recently claimed that Willard Mitt’s public approval was close to sixty percent (source: Boston Globe, 12/18/2003), so perhaps this item is more appropriate to the trenchant Silly Globe, but according to Governing Magazine, Team Reform’s titular ‘leader’ ranks dead last in public approval among most governors elected in 2002.

Governing and the University of North Carolina compiled public approval ratings for 15 of the nation’s governors, and this is what they reported:

South Dakota ..... Gov. Mike Rounds ..... 69 percent approval
Maine ..... Gov. John Baldacci .....65 percent approval
New Mexico ..... Gov. Bill Richardson ..... 64 percent approval
Rhode Island ..... Gov. Donald Carcieri ..... 61 percent approval
Michigan ..... Gov. Jennifer Granhold ..... 60 percent approval
New Hampshire ..... Gov. Craig Benson ..... 58 percent approval
Maryland ..... Gov. Bob Ehrlich ..... 55 percent approval
Illinois ..... Gov. Rod Blagojevich ..... 54 percent approval
Minnesota ..... Gov. Tim Pawlenty ..... 49 percent approval
Arizona ..... Gov. Janet Napolitano ..... 46 percent approval
Georgia ..... Gov. Sonny Perdue .... 46 percent approval
Pennsylvania ..... Gov. Ed Rendell ..... 46 percent approval
Vermont ..... Gov. Jim Douglas ..... 43 percent approval
Wisconsin ..... Gov. Jim Doyle ..... 41 percent approval
Massachusetts ..... Fraud Gov. Willard Mitt ..... 39 percent approval
(source: Governing, January 2004)

Which makes Scot Lehigh's most recent paean to Romney look downright ... silly.
