The horrific crimes committed by Tavares will be used for political fodder by Romney's opponents
"He had an increase in murder and violent crime while he was governor," Giuliani said. "So it's not so much the isolated situation which he and the judge will have to explain — he's kind of thrown her under the bus, so it's hard to know how this is all going to come out. But the reality is, he did not have a record of reducing violent crime."
The father of the deceased states,
“He was the governor — he picked this judge,” Beverly Mauck’s father, Darrel Slater, 51, told the Herald. “He should be answering for what happened.”
Unfortunately, on top of the tragedy, Romney does not posses the character to either apologize for his nomination of Judge Tuttman, the mistake that she made or the circumstances and flaws in the judicial system that created the opportunity for the Tavares to re-commit murder. The buck may stop in Willard's pocket but integrity don't live there.

It’s almost a cliche that the electorate attributes the current economy to incumbent executive despite the greater influence of the previous executive, market forces, the legislature, etc.

p>Crime rates are very similar. They’re largely driven by demographics and only secondarily by policing policies.
Just part of the Romney legacy: crap! Must admit he follows the republican rules: admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations. If the AG had done the job right in the first place, that couple would still be here. Place blame where blame belongs.
