BOSTON -- Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is selling two of his homes.

A spokesman for the former Massachusetts governor says Romney and his wife, Ann, have put their 9,500-square-foot Deer Valley, Utah ski lodge on the market for $5.25 million, and are also selling the suburban Boston home where they raised their five sons. The 6,400-square-foot
Colonial on 2.5 acres in Belmont is expected to fetch about $3 million.

Spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the Romneys are "downsizing and simplifying."

The Romneys still own a $10 million home on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. and a $12 million beachfront compound in La Jolla, Calif.

Fehrnstrom said the couple intends to buy a condominium in the Boston area.

2. ......

:D

4. Oh, someone will give Mitt some walking around money

He's keeping the real high end properties, and someone somewhere will have that kind of dough to hand over to a presidential hopeful. A little chump change that could pay big dividends in 2012 or 2016. What, just because you and I are poor and getting buffeted by this recession, you think the ultrarich are feeling any pinch? Ha, ha, it is to laugh.

3. I don't know how they're going to do it.

What will they do when they need to go skiing in Utah? Go to a *SHUDDER* luxury resort? Get down with the common almost millionaires? Ugh. How tacky.

We should all pity the Romneys for having to downsize and simplify.

It happens to the best of us. :eyes:

:sarcasm:

5. Maybe he's preparing for 2012

He probably doesn't want the "how homes do you own" argument used against him. It's much harder to call someone a "liberal elitist" when you own so many homes.

6. Maybe he can sell it to

Limbaugh and he can run an Asian whore resort.

7. We'll miss him here...like the plague! n/t
