"Multiple Choice" Mitt Romney is back in the news. The gazillionaire former Massachusetts governor and airbrushed anti-gay presidential candidate is reportedly "downsizing" and unloading several multi-million dollar mansions, reports Salt Lake City's ABC4. Sounds the beginnings of another self-financed presidential run, imho.
Race-car driver and money manager Hal Prewitt bought Mitt Romney's ski house at Deer Valley Resort [Utah] for "a little less" than the asking price of $5.25 million, his agent said. Romney also has a tentative buyer for his suburban Boston house, his spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said Tuesday. The 6,400-square-foot Colonial on 2.5 acres in Belmont is expected to fetch about $3 million.
The Romneys plan to keep a $10 million summer home on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. and a $12 million beachfront compound in La Jolla, Calif.
The sale of the Utah and Boston homes has been described by political analysts as a way for Romney to prepare for another presidential race without having to explain why he owns excess real estate - the issue that brought ridicule on rival Republican candidate John McCain last fall.
A spokesperson says Romney and his wife are simply "downsizing and simplifying." That seems to be in vogue among the extravagant anti-gay social conservatives this season.

Romney needs to STOP...just STOP.NOW.
Who would vote for him? He's contrary can't stand by decisions he makes and is just really pointless in the whole scheme of Republican/GOP politics.
it's pretty clear that Jindal and Palin are their "golden kids" and who they will look too for 2012.
Not that it will matter though..i'm seeing a Democrat reign for the next term or two.
But, Romney's a joke...everyone knows that.

Looks like the golden boy of the older right wing fanatics is getting ready for his close up. I think he realizes that Jindal isn't going to be that much of a problem with his total lackluster persona, and, Palin, will all her baby daddy drama will have faded.

It would be really hard to come up with an emptier human being than this man.
He’s like the perfect American: jut-jawed, flawless hair, fantastically rich, utterly selfish, and no conscience of any kind.
