From the 'No Mitt is Good Mitt' department...

I had a mostly off-the-record lunch chat with Cape Wind president Jim Gordon today, but one thing that was on the record (I think): Gordon's elated reaction when I mentioned that Mitt Romney had just dropped out of the Presidential race.

Romney had been a steadfast opponent of the wind farm in Nantucket Sound, and Gordon's odds of getting it built surely improve now that there's no chance of Romney ending up in the Oval Office.

(From the Globe earlier this month: "...former governor Mitt Romney maneuvered to kill the project on several occasions because of fears that the turbines would be unsightly, hurting tourism and property values.")
