| Description | Governor Mitt Romney, seeking to quash any questions about his political future, said yesterday that he will run for reelection in 2006.
Sounding feisty and girding for a campaign, Romney also threw down a challenge to potential Democratic rivals, saying that they should be prepared to face him. He accused them of spreading rumors that he will not run again to help their own fund-raising efforts.
''Plan on it," Romney said yesterday as he attended a ribbon-cutting event in the North End. ''I'm not making an official announcement until the time comes, but plan on me being there."
Earlier this week, Romney told a roundtable of State House reporters that he was ready for the Democrats' challenge. ''They say: 'Oh he's not going to run again. He's not going to run again,' " Romney said. ''Well, I've got some news for them: I am going to run again. So come on in, I'm happy to face them. And if they want to think about whether they're going to face an opponent named Romney in the fall, the answer is, yeah, that's what they should plan for."
But yesterday, Romney sidestepped one critical question: whether he would serve out the full four-year term if reelected. He is seen by pundits and GOP activists to be eyeing a 2008 presidential run.
''You know, I'm taking everything just as I've described it," Romney said at the North End event. ''I've got no additions, no subtractions." |
