Kudos to Romney

Robert Novak reports:

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a recent secret Washington meeting with
national political operatives signaled he probably will forgo seeking
re-election in 2006 in order to pursue the 2008 Republican presidential
nomination.

Romney did not flatly reveal his future intentions, according to
sources who were present. But he did say a presidential race would be difficult
if he were concentrating on a 2006 campaign for governor and were still in that
office in 2007-08.

So, he seems to be ackowledging that you can't do a decent job as governor and campaign for Presidential nomination at the same time. And he seems honest about having Presidential aspirations. Quite refreshing to hear.
