State Representative Daniel B. Winslow, a former judge and a one-time aide to Governor Mitt Romney, became the first Republican to take official steps toward entering the US Senate race Tuesday, opening an exploratory committee that allows him to begin raising money and declaring that he is “99 percent” certain he will run.
Winslow, who was Romney’s chief legal counsel, called himself a socially moderate, fiscally responsible Republican who wants to help break Washington gridlock.

this guy is in the "middle"?? he envies Mittens' money and is praised for having stopped Obama's agenda in the Senate ?? as if the Democrat voted in last fall and whichever Democrat emerges from the April primary will be some kind of leftist ... more tea party nonsense which is why the Republicans are imploding all over.
an "exploratory committee" this close to the election? what is this guy waiting for ... the withdrawal of all Democrats from the race too?
If everybody's a moderate why is there so much division? :)
Might as well just flush your warchest down the toilet right now and not waste all that time.
Who? Oh right, I think he's my trash collector.
