What happens to the lake if Romney wins?

[dpg]

Wouldn't it be cool if he wins and goes to the forum fest?

Three years ago Romney bought the La Jolla, California oceanfront home of a former San Diego Mayor and her "Jack In The Box" founder husband. The 3000+ sq. ft., $12,000,000 property will be bulldozed to make way for a 12,000 sq. ft. "West Coast White House" (Maybe) It is in close proximity to the San Diego Mormon Temple and according to Mitt....he wants to be where he can hear the waves! Close to SD Airport for AF One....and all those Camp Pendleton Marines just up the road... What does this mean for the Romney "camp" on Lake Winnipesaukee?

I don't think it would mean anything for the Romney camp on Winnipesaukee... except maybe reduced use.... Romney bought the camp because he liked the area, unless he no longer enjoys the lake, he will still want to use it....

Sounds like he'll need me to be his personal caretaker for his 'camp' in Wolfeboro.

Nothing wrong with putting out your resume early.

[Rattlesnake Guy]

Have you seen his Christmas card? I think his family can keep more than one house full with plenty to spare.



Can't tell if this picture was taken at the lake?

[SteveA]

Great looking Family!

What's up with the matching "outfits" on all the kids? (Maybe they got one of those coveted 30% off coupons from Kohl's?)

The little bit of the house you can see looks to be the same color as his lake house and the trees and bushes look like typical NH stuff. Just guessing.

Here is a family picture from the 2008 Campaign that is from Winnipesaukee.

[Heaven]

Christmas card? : / Is that how they do it on the left coast?

The guy on the right end of the picture looks like he is wearing the same shirt , wearing the same smile and holding the same baby that didn't grow at all over the course of a year and the baby has the same black outfit on. What's that all about?

very observant for 5 in the morning lol
is strange tho

[AC2717]

haha I agree,
but one thing to note his hands are placed different

[upthesaukee]

We have 8 grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 21, with some of the kids living with "ex's". After the youngest was born, we tried several times to get a picture of all 8 together. It took over 3 years before we got the "baby" in a picture with her other 7 cousins. In the past 3+ years, we have not had the opportunity to get the 8 together again for an updated picture.

I'm guessing that the two pictures (and I'm sure many more) were taken at the same family gathering, probably by a professional photographer, and there were multiple posings. If we had trouble getting 8 kids together, how easy is it to get a family that size together for a family photo op.

Just a thought.

PS: I just added up the people, and the original had 28 people, the second photo showed 22. Hmmmmmmmm. Now I don't know, and I've had two cups of coffee.

[LIforrelaxin]

Do we really need to scrutinize the photo's this much?.....

At any rate on thing to think about is photo shop is a wonderful thing....

Upthesaukee if you are really interested in getting a family photo, look for a photographer that is will to work with you... You might not be able to get everyone together at once, but I know many people that have had large family photos done over the course of several sittings....and then all the photos merged.....

[AC2717]

Life i agree
but we are all in a Christmas haze, stuck at work not wanting to work, it is is not snowing nor summer time, nor ice, so there is nothing else to talk about
with that said

MERRY CHRISTMAS and yes it is a Christmas Tree, not Happy Holidays or a holiday tree

Mitt and his wife were in Ashland, NH, the exact geographic center of New Hampshire, yesterday evening, giving an energized stand-up routine to a room full of reporters, and locals. By the time I rolled through Ashland, I stopped after seeing the two big Romney buses, and all the police, and walked up to the American Legion Hall there to take a look-see. Unfortunately, the entry door was locked with what probably was security guard on the inside, a stocky guy in a medium grey suit & tie. Anyway, the Legion Hall has two large picture windows, so it was pretty interesting to watch it all from the outside without any audio, just the body languauge and the presentation. It looked like a very high-powered event, what with all the news people, two campaign buses, satelite trucks, police and you know what ...... I bet you ten thousand dollars there will be a 30-second clip of it on today's tv news, or something! ... .

Wow this from the fellow that loves Wal-Mart? I would have figured you for a 10 dollar bet

Why not a spruce tree with decorations. That should satisfy everyone including the US government.

A friend I knew called it a Hunnaka bush, I think he was pulling my leg. Is there such a one?

Bingo. This is going to be it. NH lake home probably only a tactic. A sideline in his goals. Of course, his extended family may use the lake home. I have no idea what security will be instituted for just family members.

I visited area up close to former President Nixons home in San Clemente, California. And security was quite tight with cameras everywhere on all nearby streets. Friends and I stopped on public street unknowing that Nixons home was nearby. Police arrived in less then one minute. Nixon was not there. This was at night and none of us saw any signs.

I visited area near President Nixons home in Key Biscayne, Florida. Near Miami, Florida. Again cameras everywhere with signs that stated No Stopping Do not get out of vehicle. As a young curious person I stopped and got out. On all utility poles were loud speakers. And over the loud speaker came the stern words - Get back into you car NOW. Nixon was not there. We promptly left the area. Key Biscayne is quite nice.

Alsadad if The Forum had a hall of fame for posts that would be first ballot material. Well done.

[NoBozo]

Alsadad could be Dave Barry in disguise. NB

[SteveA]

That needs to be published in the Union Leader, or maybe some newspaper that people really read, like the Laconia Sun.

With material like that you could write for Stephen Colbert, I heard he was running!

Thanks, NB. I'm not but I'm flattered by the comparison and glad that some of you enjoyed it. It was fun putting it together.
