Either Massachusetts is perfect, or Romney was an unjust governor

Mitt Romney brags that he never commuted a sentence of issued a pardon during his tenure as governor of Massachusetts.

This would seem to indicate one of two things. Either the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has an absolutely perfect judicial system, which never convicts the innocent or assigns penalties out of proportion to the deserts of the criminal, or Mitt Romney did not do his job as governor of Massachusetts- part of which was to correct judicial mistakes of this kind. This also does not speak well of Mr. Romney's sense of either justice or proportion, and would seem to recommend his candidacy only to those who also lack these qualities.
