It boggles the mind

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is currently shooting himself in the foot by criticizing the Bush administration, but at the same time lambasting Kerry as unpresidential.

Isn't this a case of burning your bridges prematurely? I mean, he'll be screwed if Bush wins because he's criticizing the modus operandi (surely a no-no if there ever was one in this administration), and screwed if Kerry wins because (how can Kerry respect him after all the jabs?).

So much for hoping for an ambassadorship or Cabinet post, I guess.
