Week In Review
Mitt Romney tries to turn an albatross into a talisman. The former Massachusetts governor addresses the health care law he once championed here in the bay state, by calling for a repeal of “Obama care.” On the heels of a gaffe over fake death photos of Osama bin Laden, are we starting to see cracks in Senator Scott Brown’s political armor? Setti Warren thinks so and he’s throwing his hat in the ring for “the people’s seat” in 2012. But is the recently elected Newton mayor jumping the gun? Plus, damning testimony in the federal corruption trial of Former House Speaker Sal DiMasi; Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver call it quits; and thumbs up, thumbs down on “botox mom” and other people, places and issues that dominated the headlines this week. We’re joined by Michal Regunberg (left), a vice president at Solomon & McCown; Boston Globe columnist Scot Lehigh (right); and Republican political consultant and commentator Charley Manning (center).
