REPUBLICANS' MASS. APPEAL: George F. Will

A Republican can be elected governor of the bluest state. Indeed, Republicans have held the statehouse here since Michael Dukakis's last year, 1990. Mitt Romney is the inexplicably happy holder of it now. ...

Romney's disadvantage will be that, given his legislature, he has had no real opportunity to advance a conservative agenda.

However, thanks to the state's Supreme Judicial Court, he lives at ground zero in the debate on same-sex marriage, and he has pleased social conservatives by opposing resolution of the debate by judicial fiat. He endorses "moral federalism" -- the right of each state to legislate its own consensus -- but testified before Congress in support of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
