There's a pervasive fear that their quaint, quiet town might turn into a tourist haven -- as Kennebunkport, Maine, did when one of its summer residents, George H.W. Bush, became president. “People remember here, to our great dismay, what happened in 2000 when Al Gore lost New Hampshire by 7,000 votes and what a difference that has made in history,” said Kathy Sullivan, a former State Democratic Party chairwoman. In any event, said UNH political science professor Dante Scala, neither party has much of a cushion despite a Republican landslide in the state’s 2010 legislative elections. Nearby, store owner Rick Fells, 42, took a break from watching CNN coverage of the campaign to explain his support for Obama. The Romney campaign has made four times as many phone calls and knocked on eight times as many doors compared with this time in 2008, according to Tommy Schultz, a campaign spokesman.

Romney Supports Government Funding Bill with Utah Priorities

— Mitt Romney trounced the field in the Republican primary this year, owns a vacation home on Lake Winnipesaukee, and governed neighboring Massachusetts with a bottom-line relish that should resonate with fiscal conservatives here. However, several of Romney’s key New Hampshire figures remain with him, including one of the state’s leading strategists, Tom Rath, and Merrill, his New Hampshire campaign manager last time. Two of the advisers — Rich Killion and former New Hampshire state senator Bruce Keough — have privately voiced disappointment over never getting a meeting with Romney’s national team to go over all that had gone wrong in 2008.

This is probably the closest most of us will get to view Mitt Romney's 11 acre lakefront estate on Lake Winnipesaukee. Located conveniently close to downtown Wolfeboro, it includes guest facilities, stables, a boathouse, breakwater, covered docks, basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, and a small, private beach. Town residents have only kinds things to say about the Romneys, but that doesn't mean they wantthem in the White House. There's a pervasive fear that their quaint, quiet town might turn intotourist haven -- as Kennebunkport, Maine, did when one of its summer residents, George H.W. Bush,became president. Nancy Bell, who was born in Wolfeboro and works at the local high school, isworried that the security and tourists that would invade town with Romney in Washington. "The fearis there that some of the small town character of Wolfeboro could be lost." She said she likes "that Ican walk down the street and see people I know and walk into the post office and say hi," withoutthe intrusion of strangers.

At the same time, a case could be made for Romney to establish residency in CA instead. Romney’s loss to McCain in the Golden State on Super Tuesday last year was the death knell for his candidacy, given the state’s large share of delegates. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is a strong GOP contender for the open gubernatorial contest to replace outgoing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger , while Democrats barrel toward a competitive primary.

-- Autumn is in the air in New Hampshire, which means the political rhetoric isalso here, even in the tucked-away reaches of this tiny lakeside town where Mitt Romney has asummer home. Senator Romney voted in favor of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, the government funding bill, which includes measures he fought for this Congress to benefit Utah. The bill includes the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Advancement Act, support for hospitals throughout the state, and funding for essential services like roads and law enforcement in Utah’s rural counties.

McCain’s troops kept pressing until the end that Romney could not be trusted to remain true to conservative tenets. Some Romney loyalists believe their candidate’s intense focus on winning the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses blinded him to the increasing tightness of the race in New Hampshire, where McCain, whose cash-starved campaign had seemingly imploded, was surging. “He’s formidable and it’s his race to lose, but I’ve told them — I see no path for Mitt Romney if he cannot win New Hampshire,” political consultant Jamie Burnett says. To his New Hampshire skeptics, he looks like the most vulnerable of front-runners, despite a Washington Post-ABC News poll that says he is running even with President Obama.

It's a stunning getaway that, in this election year, comes with a bit of a burden.

The last time the GOP took California was 1988 during Dukakis’ incredibly bad run for president. The GOP was coming off of the quite popular Reagan presidency and pappy Bush nearly swept the electoral college. Despite that California was still the sixth closest race with Bush winning it by less than 4%.

Planning documents show the house includes a library, a basement exercise room and a room for beach gear. The Romneys shopped the house around in 2015, but kept it, until now. They’re all very family oriented and have a lot of strong values.” There is a Mormon church in town, right on Main Street, that both families are said to attend when they are in town.

I don’t begrudge Edwards nor do I have angst towards Edwards…I said I just wrinkle my nose a little bit. I begrudge nobody that makes money legally, no matter how much they amass. I do however wrinkly my nose a bit when you tell me you are “common folk” and then get a $1400 haircut. In 2012 the GOP is still going to be trying to recover their brand identity and may very well be facing more bruising interparty fighting. It’s a lot more likely the Dems will take Texas than that the GOP will take Cali .

Lauren Pazienza, Whose Shove Allegedly Killed a Beloved Manhattan Vocal Coach, Argues She Is Getting a Raw DealThe 26-year-old turned herself in this week following a search that captivated certain corners of New York. Her lawyer argues she’s being overcharged, and the case seems destined to become the latest front in the ongoing debate over criminal justice in the city. But while Romney may have let go of his giant seaside abode, he still has plenty of properties to stay in during the next Senate recess. The politician still has a 5,900-square-foot home in Holladay, Utah that he built in 2014, as well as an $8.9 million ski chalet in Park City. And when he wants to get out of the state, he can always swing by his place in Washington D.C., or his vacation home on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Karen Baker, who owns The Country Bookstore, knows Mitt Romney has been in her shop, but he slipped out before she realized who he was. “That’s what people are attracted to about this town,” she said. “No one is here to prove whose star shines brightest.” One copy of Romney’s book, No Apologies, sits on a store shelf, but Baker says she would never dare infringe on his privacy by asking him to come in and sign it for sale. Mitt Romney spent the first five years of his life in this 5,500-square-foot home in the upscale Detroit Palmer Woods neighborhood before moving to Detroit’s Bloomfield Hills suburb.
