Former Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Rappaport endorsed Rudy Giuliani today. Rappaport has long been critical of former MA Governor Mitt Romney (aka Mr. Fantastic). In November 2006 he told the Boston Globe, “Mitt Romney, through his stalwart efforts, has managed to bring our party back to where it was in 1986.”
Rappaport’s message was no different today on a conference call with the media. “[Romney] has a strong record of showmanship as opposed to actual performance,” said Rappaport. “His word is no good…Mitt Romney would say one thing in a meeting and literally go out of the meeting to the press and tell the opposite story. There was no desire in the legislature to be accommodating to him because they couldn’t trust him.”
Yowza.
