My thought is that with Romney's background the economy becomes a winning issue rather than one that drove the campaign into the ground. And Obama can't go on and on about healthcare, because Romney would have the simple response of "As governor I led Massachusetts to become the only state in the nation which guaranteed healthcare to all of its citizens."

Maybe, but I don't know that it would have mattered. As I said, I voted for him in the primary, so I thought he was the best candidate in the race at that point, but Obama. . .
