If you think Romney could win in MA, you obviously has never been to or hasn't been to Massachusett in quite a while.
Romney wouldn't even win a governor re-election if he had decided to seek a second term in MA. He is a big reason Massachusettians gave Democrats almost total control of the governorship, statewide constitutional offices, Congress, both chambers of the state Legislature, and the Governor's Council.

Romney, a Republican in a Democratic state who won election by less than 5 percentage points , never had much of a honeymoon in Massachusetts. In 2003, as he approached his 100th day in office, only 55 percent of residents had a favorable opinion of him, according to a Globe poll at the time. His popularity has declined markedly since the spring of this year, after he decided not to run for reelection and began spending large chunks of time out of state.
In an October Globe/WBZ poll, 54 percent of likely voters in the November governor's race expressed an unfavorable view of Romney and 34 percent a favorable view.

My dog Sparky has a better chance of winning a general election in MA than Romney.
