Romney and the national spotlight

I finally finished the sports section and came across this meaty story:
Boston Globe / Romney's road show

Romney is a guy who seems to be permanently running for office, rather than actually running his office. He's perfect for national office: he's squeaky clean and has no skeletons in his closet, and has no actual record that could be attacked because he doesn't really do anything except pose for photo ops and complain about the Turnpike Authority and occasionally fire somebody. I wrote about him in a column a few years back; I'll see if I can dig it up.
