Why the Republicans may retain the governor's seat in very Democratic Massachusetts

If you don't live in Massachusetts, you may still know the name Mitt Romney. Then again, you'd have to be an Olympics buff -- he helped Salt Lake City's recent Jeux d'Hiver (literally, "Juicy Hives") turn a profit. If you live in Massachusetts, you still don't know much more about this gubernational candidate, except that he didn't live here for three years but claims Massachusetts is his home state.

Scandal! Horror! Not really, I'd say. I don't even want him to win (I signed the petition for Robert Reich), but I don't mind the guy. However, the Democrats have decided it's vital to get the truth about Romney not filing as a resident when he worked in Utah.

The primaries haven't even happened. No one is an official party candidate yet. However, the Democrats are so scared of Romney that they've sponsored an inquest into his tax status.
