#3 Not a problem for Patrick at all.

1. Reverse all cuts.

2. Oh, my! A huge deficit. We'll just have some "temporary" tax increases.

3. Bask in glory of press coverage for pragmatism.

4. Receive "Profiles in Courage" award.

I've seen that happen in Michigan, California, Arizona, Ohio.

#5 If Mass has a balanced budget law, I would assume that there are only 2 ways to comply. One is to do what Romney did, so he may not be such a hero, and the other would be to increase taxes.
This could be a no brainer. Makes good headlines though.

#6 As a life long Masshole, I can confirm the following :

Romney used the state for his political ambitions - went AWOL soon after election, traversing about the Heartland instead of taking battle to the corruptchiks on Bacon Hill - failed to build a grass-roots GOP resistance (although he tried in 2004) - refused to give spotlight to his Lieutenant Governor who just lost big time to a professional moonbat - failed to ride roughshod over the trough rats until he was riding on out of town.

Yeah, I still like Mitt's politics, but he should have inflicted moonbat casualties while he was here. Instead he left the GOP in the worst place it has been in 20 years.
