Small town in for big changes if Romney runs in ´08 _ and wins

WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Like a lot of Massachusetts residents, Gov. Mitt Romney prefers New Hampshire in the summertime.

He spends as many summer weekends as he can at his 11-acre Lake Winnipesaukee estate, which boasts more than 700 feet of waterfront, a six-bedroom mansion, stable, guest quarters and a boathouse, which at 2,700 square feet is bigger than most people´s homes.

By all accounts, the Romneys are good neighbors _ amiable and low key. And Wolfeboro, an old resort town where locals take pride in not fussing over wealthy and celebrity residents, seems to suit Romney, a Republican who made a fortune as a venture capitalist before becoming governor in 2003. Except for the Massachusetts state trooper discreetly shadowing him, he´s just another millionaire browsing the hardware store or eating soft-serve ice cream.

Some of this article is crap (besides the fact it's talking about Mittens Romney.) The author mentions "Kennebushport". I have NEVER heard anyone refer to the town that way. On the contrary, last year the local Dems had a huge sign (with hats and t-shirts) saying "KERRYbunkport".
