There is no virtue in boldly making the wrong decision

(If there were then GW Bush will go down as a great President, which is exceedingly unlikely.)

While the Governors has made a great blunder, it is unwise to say that [t]his is a case where failing to take a stand is worse than making the wrong call..

I don't think so at all. In fact the net result will be what I believe is the correct decision: the Retrofit. But the manner in which we will back into it will be destructive and a big waste of energy. The Governor did the wrong thing for he own career and for the body politic. But it would have been far worse had she "decided" on the Tunnel.
