Great Mittens update from The Chimes at Midnight:

Oh and Decaf still hasn't enlightened the local peonage as to his plans next year. According to the Olde Fahmas Almanac, Autumn ends on December 20th in these here parts. So it is seven days a counting....Geezus the Viceroy is drama-queen just announce asshole and be Done With It!

Sniff.

Dear Xxxxx:

Yesterday I heard from Secretary of State Bill Galvin that he has decided not to run for Governor and will instead run for re-election. This means I have to end my candidacy before it fully began.

I cannot tell you how much the support and encouragement of so many people has meant to me. I have been touched and excited and was looking forward to drawing on that energy and activism to bring change to our government. One important part of getting our country back on the right path is to elect secretaries of state who will stand up for voting rights and restore faith in our election system.

I don’t know what the future brings, but I know that I intend to stay involved. I hope you will as well.

I wish you the very best for the holidays and the new year and look forward to being in touch.

With gratitude,

Cam Kerry

Too bad.

5. Really dumb comment

Cam's signature is absolutely not like his brother's very distinctive handwriting.

Source: Romney to skip re-election bid in 2006

By Glen Johnson, AP Political Writer | December 14, 2005

6. Shocker.

I don't understand why it's taking him so long. Maybe he was hoping his poll numbers would go up so at least it would seem like more of a grand gesture?

7. The source said Romney will make the announcement this evening.

Barbie will be relieved. Now, she will be able to announce that she will run.

8. I think he's running for VP.

He's trying to build a fund-raising record, show that he can 'talk trash' about Massachusett and build up creds with national Rethugs who find being a liar a positive thing and such.

He'll never get a nomination. But he can suck up some of that nice, East Coast Republican money in a relatively guiltfree way. (For East Coast Republicans anyway. You know the type: We are so csocially tolerant, but those tax cuts are so good and we just can't support those free-spending Democrats. Bite me.)
