Mass. to Romney: No White House Run

If Gov. Mitt Romney had any aspirations of becoming President, then the latest poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center should slap him back into reality. The poll of 501 Mass. residents was taken March 5-8. [error margin of 4.4%.] Accordingly, 53 percent of respondents said Romney should not run for president, while 28 percent said he should. Furthermore, half of those surveyed thought Romney wouldn't make a decent president, a third did.

On the heels of Romney galavanting to South Carolina to pander to party loyalists and offering a puzzling stem-cell research policy, he claims to be focused on re-election in 2006. Massachusetts Republicans don't support a Romney for President campaign by four percentage points. Similarly, the poll finds Sen. Kerry lacks support to take a second run at president.

As if a governor named Mitt wasn't funny enough, former comedian and actor Joe Piscopo is seriously considering running for governor of New Jersey.
