Here are some excerpts from a blog post from someone who worked on Romney's senate campaign in 1994:

Since 1994, I’ve had the chance to meet with any number of politicians. I can honestly say that the only politician who has truly impressed me is Mitt Romney.

Romney has won the hearts of people like Kathryn Lopez because he is a singularly impressive individual. Almost all politicians can talk the proverbial buffalo off the proverbial nickel; as a class, politicians excel at delivering lengthy extemporaneous speeches that offer virtually nothing in terms of substantive content. After a while, you discover that the reason our politicians shy away from substantive content is that they often don’t know what they’re talking about and thus must do so out of necessity.

Romney’s not like that. He built an extremely successful business career on mastering the intricacies of under-valued opportunities and then making the right play. In other words, this is a man who by discipline and by training gathers information, figures out the shot and then executes. To tie this into a few of my blog posts of the last week, if any wisenheimer blogger asked Romney if he had read any books on jihad and Islamic terrorism, not only am I confident that Romney would be able to provide actual book titles, he would also be able to deliver comprehensive summaries on the books he mentioned.

In 1994 when Romney ran against Ted Kennedy, Kennedy was vulnerable. Kennedy’s Palm Beach disgrace was still fresh in the minds of Massachusetts voters and it appeared that Ted’s act was finally growing tired. The Senator had become a bloated, barely recognizable version of the svelte Kennedy family models of old, and ’94 was shaping up as a huge year for the GOP. Adding to Kennedy’s woes was the fact that for the first time in 30 years, he actually was facing serious competition for his seat.

So the Kennedy attack machine jumped into overdrive seeking out dirt on Romney. The family’s retainees who worked at the Boston Globe were activated and spent several months revealing the shocking fact that Mitt Romney was a Mormon. To shed light on this exotic faith, the Globe talked to several theological experts like Representative Joseph Kennedy, the Senator’s nephew.

But beyond discovering Romney’s religion, the Kennedy opposition research team found a bare cupboard. The most damaging detail of Romney’s past concerned a company in Indiana that Romney’s firm had purchased. After the purchase, Romney’s company fired several of the Indiana company’s employees. The Kennedy campaign brought the fired workers to Massachusetts and labeled them “The Romney Truth Squad.”
It’s revealing that this was all the Kennedy campaign could come up with. It also tells you about the kind of “skeletons” Mitt Romney has in his closet.

To wit, there aren’t any.
