Why can’t Mitt Romney win his own state he will vote in and governed in?

GOP Candidate Rick Santorum: People may as well vote for Obama if Romney nominee.

According to The Boston, he is trailing behind President Obama by about 20 – 25 points.

Governor Deval Patrick said today that voters in the presidential race should take note of polls showing Republican nominee Mitt Romney trailing far behind President Obama in Massachusetts, the state where he both lives and once served as governor, because it should tell them something.

“He’s a resident of Massachusetts. He will vote in Massachusetts. He governed in Massachusetts. We elected him – and he is trailing 20 to 25 points. What does that tell you?” Patrick said during his monthly appearance on WTKK-FM.

“It tells you that we know him, and, ‘No, thank-you.’ We’ve seen this movie before, and we’re not going to do it again.”

Patrick said Romney’s lone accomplishment while he led Massachusetts – “his only experience as a public executive” – was passing a universal health care law that served as the model for a federal law enacted by Obama, yet the former governor now wants to repeal it.

“I think we know a leader with a core when we see it, and we see that in Barack Obama, and I think we know a leader without a core when we see it, and I think we’ve seen that in Governor Romney,” said Patrick.
