Romney said one-party government is a bad idea

AP story in the Salt Lake Tribune:

A new video posted on both YouTube and the Internet by Democrats includes a montage of political moments in which Mitt Romney repeatedly downplays his Republican Party affiliation while running for governor of heavily Democratic Massachusetts in 2002. [...]

The montage, posted by the Massachusetts Democratic Party, includes several clips of Romney complaining about the lack of political balance in heavily Republican Utah, where he spent three years while he headed [the] 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Romney often made that point as he argued for equilibrium in Massachusetts, which tilted to the opposite end of the political spectrum.

"I lived in a place that had a one-party state that was primarily Republican. I thought, 'Well, won't that be nice?' The answer is no," Romney told the New Bedford Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 16, 2002.

But now it's 2007, so I'm sure Romney has a different opinion.

Update: The Deseret News finds an even better Romney quote:

I'm not convinced that a state would be better off with all Republicans. As a matter of fact, I've been in a state like that for the past three years. Not a good thing.
