There is still much speculation about whether Mitt Romney runs for a second term or instead retires to run for the White House in 2008. If he really has ambitions directed to D.C., he probably should retire as it seems more and more unlikely that he could win reelection.
New poll numbers from here and here:
Numbers after the fold
Poll by State House News Service for KRC
taken 2/28-3/1/05
404 MA residents, MoE 4.8%
Romney: 39,6%
Reilly: 49,1% (Dem AG)
The first article also notes that Romney runs even with Dem SoS Galvin, while Reilly polls far ahead in the dem primary.
So things look good in MA, if Romney really runs for reelection, he should be toast as would be his presiential ambitions in that case. Seems it's not that good of an idea for a Gov. from MA to campaign in South Carolina...
