During his 1994 campaign for Senate in Massachusetts, Romney disowned any connection to or affinity for Ronald Reagan: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush." (Joe Battenfield, "Conservative Group Yanks Its Support For Mitt," Boston Herald, 10/27/94).
Mitt Romney opposed efforts to elect Republicans
In 1992, Romney voted in the Democratic presidential primary for liberal former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas, a fact he still proudly touts today. He proclaimed in 1994, "I’m not a partisan politician." (David Broder, "Kennedy Tries To Polish Faded Image," The Washington Post, 10/7/94)
Romney proudly defended donations to Democratic congressional candidates that he made in 1992. He told reporters: ‘I don’t think they’re mortal sins for Republican Party members to make contributions to good people and to their friends, irrespective of their party.’
The 1992 presidential election had consequences: Democrats took simultaneous control of the White House, House of Representatives, and Senate for the first time since 1980, and Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congress would quickly raise taxes in 1993. (Wayne Woodlief, "Romney: Religion No Issue In Senate Race," Boston Herald, 2/3/94).
Just days before the 1994 Congressional mid-term election, Massachusetts Senate candidate Mitt Romney vigorously opposed the Contract with America in his debate with incumbent Senator Ted Kennedy. Romney said the Contract with America, signed by over 350 Republican Candidates for the House of Representatives, was "not a good idea" and "a mistake".

In his failed 1994 Massachusetts Senate campaign, Mitt Romney vigorously opposed the Contract with America. Running on the Contract as a solemn promise to the American people to accomplish the items of the Contract, Republicans took back the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years, and proceeded to cut taxes.
Moreover, he repeatedly has spent much of his own fortune to outspend opponents. While I have no problem with any candidate spending his own money, in our Republic much can be said for the candidate who is able to raise money from the "folks" to run his campaign. It demonstrates support from the grassroots, as opposed to buying support in a presidential election process. I separate the two. Romney contributed over $6 million to his own campaign during the election against Kennedy, a state record at the time. He'll do much the same thing in the 2012 republican presidential election contest.
Even while Governor of Massachusetts he demonstrated his moderate, progressive tendencies much of the time. Romney supported raising various fees by more than $300 million, including those for driver's licenses, marriage licenses, and gun licenses. He increased a special gasoline retailer fee by two cents per gallon. Anytime fees and taxes are raised they impose a hardship on those who can least afford them. Something progressives have no problem with.
Republican candidates for POTUS have to do everything in their power to demonstrate leadership skills, strength of conviction, ability to raise money, support from grassroots voters, strength of message and its applicability in the world today, resourcefulness, capacity to respond instantaneously when challenged, and an distinctly American spirit. Mitt has failed on all those fronts in both the 2008 election and the 2012 presidential election. In this presidential election, there is one candidate who has demonstrated all of those traits and that's Newt Gingrich. When the mainstream media had Newt's candidacy DOA, Newt proved his resourcefulness and raised money, stayed on message, demonstrated leadership skills, spoke well of all the candidates, remained convicted that the country could do better, and responded instantaneously when challenged.

During his October 27, 1994 senatorial debate against Ted Kennedy, Romney declared "in my view, it is not a good idea to go into a contract, like what was organized by the Republican Party in Washington, laying out a whole series of things that the party says ‘these are the things we are going to do.’ I think that’s a mistake. I think instead that if you want to get something done in Washington, you don’t end up picking teams, with Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other, entering into a contract and saying ‘we’re all gonna do this.’ Then of course, if that works, then the other side feels like a loser. But if they win they feel like winners. I don’t like winners and losers in
Washington, I’d rather say, let’s get together and work together." (Rod Dreher, "Kennedy Avoids Haymaker In Final Debate With Romney," The Washington Times, 10/28/94; video available here: Senate Debate, October 27, 1994. WCVB-TV (Boston). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jzno_apP1Q)
