Interesting confession from the governor, fresh off his impressive finish in the Southern Republican Leadership Conference
presidential straw poll, at today's Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce breakfast:
"...I look back over my experience, and every time I change
jobs, I feel depressed for about the first six months. I think I have
made a big, big mistake. When I got into law school, when I was there,
I said, 'Oh my goodness, this is unfortunate.' And then I went to the
Boston Consulting Group, and I said, 'Oh, this is not a good fit.' And
then I went over to Bain and I said, 'Oh, this is really a bad fit.' When I went to the Olympics, I said, 'Oh, this is a nightmare.' Just one after the other."
And you thought
Abe Lincoln was glum!
Now, to be fair, Romney went on to say that his first six months as
governor were funk-free. (In fact, he "loved it from day one.") But
what if that was an anomaly? After all, voters might not want their
next president to spend half a year moping around the White House.
