Romney erases Utah ties
Mitt Romney, in Utah to campaign for Sen. Bob Bennett, had nothing to say about his own political plans. He brushed off inquiries about a 2012 presidential run. Even a creative question from the Deseret News/Mormon Times on what it would be like to run against another Mormon — namely Gov. Jon Huntsman — got no response from the savior of the Salt Lake Olympics.

The GOP has to unite and focus on mid-term congressional elections, Romney said:

When you're in the minority, you band together and you work for those races.That's what I'm doing.

About the only thing reasonably certain is that Romney is passing on using his immense popularity in Utah as a route to the Senate. He has sold his Deer Valley home, above, for "a little less" than the $5.25 million asking price to Race-car driver and money manager Hal Prewitt.

With the sale of his Boston home about to close, Romney maintains multi-million-dollar residences in California and New Hampshire.

Hey Glen...You point the finger at Romneys wealth like it is something to be ashamed of...you bastard!

He earned it...why shouldn't he be entitled!

Where were you during the Obama and Resko BS?

Thats right you couldn't give a shit about how a "community organizer" could acquire a million dollar property sold to him by an unscrupulous felon! Funny how you find this storu=y newsworthy and yet passed on that one!

One can only guess that every story you post has a political agenda.....Sieg Heil BITCH!

Yeah Glen, you've missed the boat on this one. Just becuase you walk around the capitol looking homeless doesn't mean Romney has to be ashamed that he made money.

The two people above need to do their own research and stop listening to Fox News. You want the connection between Obama and Resko? Resko sold him his house in Chicago. End of story. Get over it. There are more important things going on than a real estate deal made several years ago.

There is nothing wrong with Romney making money. I think the point being made here is that he is doing everything to take the steps he needs to to make another run in 2012. He doesn't want to be like McCain and not be able to tell someone how many houses he owns. When was the last time he even used his Utah home unless he was campaigning here? Romney isn't a real Utahn, big deal.
