Mitt/RGA spend $741,000 on ads for Patrick

October 3, 2006 By Charley on the MTA

Honestly, does Mitt think he's helping Healey? The guy's not even running for governor here (hurray!), but what do we get now? An ad for Mitt Romney! You see, things really sucked four years ago, Mitt came in Olympic torch in hand, made … [Read more...]
