During a press availability where he discussed his appeal of former Senate President Billy Bulger's judge ordered pension increase, Attorney General and 2006 Gubernatorial candidate Tom Reilly took a swipe at Governor Romney. Here's the story from the State House News (subscription only):
Asked today about Gov. Mitt Romney's latest trip out of state – he heads to California today where he is expected to be named president of the Republican Governors Association – Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Thomas Reilly said Romney’s travels have become a "distraction" here. Romney has maintained for many weeks that he would announce whether to seek reelection this fall, which ends on Dec. 20. Romney may seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. "There's important business here," Reilly said at a press availability on an unrelated matter. "I'm focused on things that matter to the people of Massachusetts. It’s become a distraction really. So at some point, make up your mind. Come or go. Stay. Run. Whatever. Just do your job."I think the AG has hit on Romney's 2006 campaign theme. "Romney '06: Stay. Run. Whatever." Won't that look good on a bumper sticker?
