	Governor of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the executive magistrate of the United States Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
		The Governor of Massachusetts is the chief executive of the Commonwealth, and is supported by a number of subordinate officers.
		The title of "His Excellency" is a throwback to the royally-appointed governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of New England, and Royal Colony of Massachusetts, all of whom were afforded this title.

	Hadley Arkes on Gay Marriage & Massachusetts on National Review Online
		Massachusetts had long ago followed the lead of Congress in restricting the power of judges to intervene with injunctions to break strikes mounted by labor unions.
		Faced with his resistance, the governor sought from the legislature the authority to give the mandate to another counsel and seek the kind of stay that would preserve, after all, the possibility of enacting the measure passed by this legislature.
		The governor could have gone in, of course, with the attendance of aides; and if the cause was as important as he had professed to believe, he should not have been put off by vanity, or by a fear of appearing less than commanding.

	Massachusetts Elects Mormon Governor : "Romney win seen as sign of acceptance of Mormons"

		Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is ruling out a role in President Bush's second administration and said a presidential run in 2008 is "too remote" to think about now.
		"He knows that because of our history in Massachusetts of having two elected governors leave before their terms were over, that this was an important issue in my campaign that I made a firm commitment and I intend to honor that," Romney added.
		And while he didn't rule out a White House bid, he said his re-election race for governor and running the state for the next two years would consume much of his time and make a 2008 presidential run "too remote in time and probability to be talking about."
