Interesting article about Gov. Romney's wealth in this morning's Times. It has two very interesting points in it. :-)
The first is that he tithes 10% of his income to the church - that's going to cause a lot of heartache to many Evangelicals. They wouldn't care if it was his local Baptist mega-church or something, but to Salt Lake City? It won't take long for people to connect the dots: the (would-be) President would directly support the LDS... The fuss will make the anti-Catholic stuff of JFK's campaign look benign and supportive. (And it won't be as overt. Which makes it difficult for his campaign to fight.)
The other thing is the last few sentences:
When billed for $134,909 in property taxes on their beachside home in San Diego in 2009, the Romneys appealed the assessment, according to an official at the city property assessor’s office.
Mr. and Mrs. Romney won the appeal. The bill was reduced by $9,617, for a total of $125,292.A lot of folk won't get to $125,292. I think the rumor will be "he got his property taxes reduced from $125,000 to $9,000."
The biggest problem for Mittens is that he led the way with misleading, even lying, ads. He should have thought about that a little more... (Of course, I'm not discounting that simply having the nickname "Mittens" in a presidential race is not a positive! I'm not the only one who applied the obvious moniker to him.) :-)
