I keep seeing ads where Romney talks about his record of balancing the budget as governor of MA. I think he should campaign on the rest of his accomplishments: "While I was governor, Massachusetts got universal healthcare and same-sex marriage!"

Republicans would vote for him because he's not Obama, while Democrats would vote for him because he supports gay marriage and universal healthcare. How could he lose?

Because the far right voters would not vote for him -- they'd not vote at all.

It's more important to get voters to the polls so they will vote for Congress.

He could also brag about his record on abortion (from his 2002 campaign): "As Governor, Mitt Romney would protect the current pro-choice status quo in Massachusetts. No law would change. The choice to have an abortion is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not the government's."

I think Romney should fear for his life, should he be elected with Ryan as his vice president.

And according to http://www.malegislature.gov/Budget, "Under Massachusetts law, the budget - or General Appropriations Act - must be balanced." So balancing the budget is more a requirement of law than a real accomplishment. Why campaign on something so lame when you have something as awesome as "My state became the first to have both same-sex marriage AND universal healthcare"?
