Gubernatorial front-runner Mitt Romney refused to release his income tax returns.Good for you Mitt. As you say, it's not a requirement. We already admire you for getting into the race to help rescue the state.
We know you have big bucks. We don't need to know the details.

Romney open to casinos in Mass.
''I don't have any particular problem with there being legalized gambling in the commonwealth, because we already have it.''Smart talk. Why should Connecticut get all that extra tax revenue?

Media sketching their Mitt Romney cartoon.
Romney brought much-needed leadership to the Games. He raised morale, unified the effort and made hard decisions, cutting the budget by 13 percent. He was effective. Clearly this man is unsuited for Massachusetts politics.This is sarcasm.

Romney said Healey would not only make a successful lieutenant governor, but some day perhaps a governor. He said she was not picked because he needed a woman to balance the ticket, but for her qualifications in public policy.Hmm... I see.
