Yet another installment in the saga of the political office that can’t get no respect: the Massachusetts governorship. Today acting- (one might better say, accidental-) Governor Jane Swift announced that she is getting out of the race to make way for Mitt Romney.

Romney, of course, is the long-time political neophyte who tried and failed to unseat Teddy Kennedy back in 1994. He’s also the son of a former Governor of Michigan.

Romney wants the job so bad he’s even going leave Utah, where he’s lived for the last three years, and move to Massachusetts.
