Hero sandwich?

With a thin lead in the polls over his potential GOP 2012 presidential rivals, Mitt Romney dropped by for lunch with a Republican legislative delegation that is only now beginning to put on some weight about a 2004 Romney-led debacle.

Romney was holding a puny excuse for a sandwich as he dodged reporters outside Boston's Union Club. Myth was also typically less forthcoming about his intentions in meeting with the state's elected GOP lawmakers.

“I’m not doing any campaigning, thanks.”

He's certainly not doing any eating. And his interest in promoting Massachusetts and the issues it faces certainly hasn't been a prime topic on his agenda since he backed away from Romney Care and spent his last years as governor bashing the state he was still drawing a paycheck from.

I guess we'll just have to take him at his word. We know how good that is when it comes to the issues.
