Massachusetts Democrats Given Starring Role to Rebut Romney.
Earlier Tuesday, the Massachusetts Democratic Party and three health insurance providers sponsored a panel at a downtown Charlotte law firm to tout Romney's health care initiative and argue that Obama's plan will secure similar success.
"I'm very, very proud of what we have accomplished in Massachusetts. I think, by the way, Mitt Romney is too," Governor Patrick, an active Obama ally, told the crowd.
"Not anymore!" one audience member answered back.
Patrick described Romney's gubernatorial portrait, which now hangs in the Massachusetts State House. Romney selected two elements to appear in the painting, Patrick said, a picture of his wife Ann Romney and a copy of the health care law.
"There's no doubt in my mind that if the Affordable Care Act based, as you know, on health care reform in Massachusetts were polling better nationally, he would wrap his arms around it," Patrick said.
Others picked up the kill-him-with-kindness approach.
