Former Republican Governor Jane Swift stopped by The Scrum podcast this week. She had much to say about the GOP's shift to the right, the possibility of Romney 2016, and Charlie Baker's efforts to distinguish himself from the national Republican platform.

16:05 "He has had this great narrative that he's developed of being the night in shining armor who rides to the rescue. I will also say, as a former politician, it's nice to have a good, positive narrative after you've left office (...) So, whether he's going to run again or not, re-establishing that narrative after two presidential losses, I think is a testament to their focus on creating these positive narratives."

The Scrum is a weekly politics podcast that takes a closer look at the factors that influence who and what appears on your ballot. Listen, read, comment, rant on the Scrum blog here.
