How Many Houses Does Mittens Have?

[Bolo Boffin]

Romney's likelihood of being McSame's veep is up, I hear tell. How wonderful! Two really, really, really, really rich guys on the Republican ticket.

So how many houses does Mittens have?

Here's his newest one, I think:

Can we come up with the count?

2. Excellent question ...

I did hear about him buying the California house, and I
assume he still has a place in Massachusetts and I think
I also heard about a home in Utah ... This is going to
be FUN ... !!!

14. You are correct!

Romney had a residency question when he ran in Massachusetts for governor:

So a house in Park City, Utah, a house (mansion, some call it, especially when they're calling it "Sanctuary Mansion") in Belmont, Massachusetts, and a great house on the beach in La Jolla, California. Anything else?

9. why do these guy need so many houses?

I guess they don't grow cobwebs when they are vacant?

17. Well, when you have that much money, you can't just leave it lying around

You know, FDIC only insures a bank account up to $100,000. That's ten accounts for every million dollars you have, if you've got it all in the bank.

So you buy houses. Houses used to be a good way to store your money in equity.

Jesus had a story about that, I recall... Something about building barns?

6. How many Olympics have you run?

[Bolo Boffin]

7. You first. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. Wow! plus all the maintenance costs!

10. there's a ticket with the pulse on the middle class

by middle class, I mean making $4 million a year.

12. Here's your anti-McCain-Romney ad.....................

The screen opens with a shot of the Great Maverick and Mitts embraced, and the graphic reads " 12 houses " or how many ever............." $200 million net worth" or whatever...........The Bush-Cheny economy's been might good for your Republican candidates.............How's it working out for you?

I know theres a similar spot running........Romney let's us put up an even more outlandish amount of money.

[Bolo Boffin]

15. And that's $12 million on the California house in today's bottomed out market

What's it going to be worth a couple of years down the road?

[Bicoastal]

13. A better question would be--how many wives does he have?

Hmm...

[Enrique]

16. Mitt better prepare for that question

look bad if he says check with my staff.
