Number of Prominent Republicans Back McCain

The Prominent Republicans in the state of Massachusetts are NOT backing their former Governor, Romney. It is no surprise given that they remember what condition the state was in during Romney's term as governor. The economic growth during that time in Massachusetts was their third lowest in the country, and the job increase was the third lowest in the country. Only the Katrina states were lower. And all these republicans remember the high number of the population who left the state.

The list of Bay State Republicans endorsing McCain, in his quest for the presidency, include former governors Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift, former treasurer Joe Malone and former State Republican Party Chair Jean Inman. The list includes USAID Administrator and former state lawmaker Andrew Natsios and former Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Rappaport. The list also includes a number of state lawmakers and 14 members of the Republican State Committee.

Romney may be able to fool Republicans who were not in the state of Massachusetts when he was governor. However, the Massachusetts Republicans remember the failing economy that Romney put them into. I guess that is why Republicans use the Elephant as their masscot, because 'An elephant never forgets.'
