Mitt Romney says he won't win his home state in November if he is the Republican nominee for president.
Asked Thursday in a radio interview if he would prevail in Massachusetts in a match-up with Senator Clinton, Mr. Romney replied, "Oh, I can't imagine doing that. I don't think so.…It's a very liberal state."
Mr. Romney told Sean Hannity that natives of the Bay State and some other liberal states would never go for a candidate like him.
"They vehemently disagree with the fact that I'm pro life. They disagree with the fact that I'm opposed to same sex marriage. Those two issues for many people in some states overwhelm who can build our economy better, who understands our foreign policy better, who understands how to strengthen America for our future."
Mr. Romney said he might be able to win Michigan, a traditionally Democratic state, because of his family ties there and his commitment to revitalizing the automobile industry.
