...With Weld in the driver's seat, the once ridiculed Beacon Hill became a beacon of hope for residents attempting to escape the infamous Taxachusetts. The State Senate was overhauled as Weld waded through the miasma of budget debacles left by the late, great Michael S. Dukakis. Praise of Weld in the ultra-liberal Boston Globe simply became ubiquitous. A champion of abortion rights and an advocate of gay rights, Weld strode about the State House continually shocking his Republican supporters and constituents. Seemingly, there was nothing he could do wrong. Massachusetts had found her messiah...
...Republican senator is an entirely different story. Attempting to barge into the domain of the Kennedys does not increase popularity in Massachusetts. Though he was running against an equally undesirable character, John F. Kerry--the man who plainly used his wife's ketchup fortune to fund his campaign--Weld's longing for national limelight was sorely unresolved...
Crashing down a row of tollbooths a week before the Senate election in the hopes of endearing Massachusetts voters essentially did just the opposite: They scoffed at his meager endeavor. Kerry pranced off to Washington leaving Weld in the dust without his coveted Senate seat.

The Globe article reported that Bill was permanently living in the city, dating a celebrity columnist from the trite magazine In Style and considering a career in acting...
After his exeunt from the citizens of Massachusetts, a poor attempt at national eclat and a wretched first novel, Weld has finally dug his own grave. By leaving Susan Weld and their five children and deciding to "date" while still married to his lady-wife, Weld clearly aspires to Clintonesque activities. Does he truly think his image will remain as Teflon as the President? By thinking that his middle-aged paunch and balding head might possibly be attractive on-screen, in addition to his deplorable treatment of his wife, Weld has remade himself into a less than admirable public figure...
