Sometime around 2004, Mitt made a very real decision to seek the office of the Presidency in 2008 rather than a second term in 2006. The fingerprints of that decision were all over his actions in 2004, most notably his trip to Washington DC to ask for a gay marriage amendment. Romney is a smart enough guy to know that doesn't help his chances in Mass -- hell, his advisors were telling those of us manning State Rep and State Senate races in the state that year to avoid gay marriage like the plague.
Had Romney actually wanted to win re-election in 2006, he very well could have. But to do so, he'd have to stay closer to the middle -- and staying close to the middle doesn't win GOP primaries.
