The Police Strike brought him national attention and consideration for the presidency. When Governor Coolidge learned that campaign offices had opened and money raised in his behalf he ordered the offices closed and the money returned. He was Governor of the Commonwealth and would not use the office as a stepping stone to higher office. He was afraid he might bring some embarrassment to the office. <br /><br />Fast forward: When Romney was Governor he was so seldom in the state that his picture appeared on milk cartons. Mitt was off and away -- chasing the presidency. He could have had a Coolidge moment but he missed it and there is no going back.Jim Cookehttp://www.crankyyankees.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017474402534336131.post-29822608883991304662010-04-22T12:35:51.390-04:002010-04-22T12:35:51.390-04:00Romney may be sitting on a pot, but it's not a...Romney may be sitting on a pot, but it's not a pot of gold.

Who will support Romney?Ernienoreply@blogger.com
