Lt. Gov. Healey for Massachusetts Governor
Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey announced she will make a bid to become governor. If elected, she would become the state's first elected woman governor. Her platform is lower taxes and education reform.
Its hard to imagine a Republican in charge of the state the Kennedy's built. But Healey, if successful, would be replacing Republican Mitt Romney.
Her chances aren't as bad as they would appear at first. The Democratic base in the state is migrating out of state and many who remain are disenfranchised by how the party is being led. The Mass. GOP has not been able to take advantage of the trend. For her to win, Healey must find a way to engage those disenfranchised voters.

Actually, we in the Mass. GOP have held the Corner Office for the last SIXTEEN years.
Mass. voters are smart enough to know that with a Democrat governor, the last brake on the excesses of our 92% Democrat Legislature would be over. They want SOMEBODY to be looking out for their interests.
