There’s a lot being made of this mornings “Boston Globe” article on Mitt Romney, and that it’s a major clue that he’s considering a run in 2012.
Personally, while I’m convinced he’s running, I think the article was just an excuse for the Globe to write something negative:
The former Massachusetts governor has raised $2.1 million for his Free and Strong America political action committee. But only 12 percent of the money has been spent distributing checks to Romney’s fellow Republicans around the country.
Instead, the largest chunk of the money has gone to support Romney’s political ambitions, paying for salaries and consulting fees to over a half-dozen of Romney’s longtime political aides, according to a Globe review of expenditures.
A politician using a PAC to further his own political career? You might as well tell me there’s no Santa Claus.
