Another break-in happened at Romney Headquarters early this morning in the North End. At first blush, it could have been political. The two men arrested by the BPD were from Cambridge, which doesn't exactly show Mitt Romney the love. The pair pled not guilty. According to the DA's Office, they were caught driving from the parking lot after a security guard said he saw them trying to steal computer equipment. When police "removed" them from......

The Five Brothers, aka Mitt Romney's kids who all blog for Dad, are toothy, cute, and so wholesome it could make your brain bleed. They strike us as mostly harmless sorts who just want to tell the world how cool their Dad is. But they do not, under any circumstances, need to be playing touch football with streamers dangling around their butts. The Team Romney football game marks the second time that Bostonist has seen......

You know that former Massachusetts governor presidential aspirant Mitt Romney is rich. But did you know just how rich he is? He has spent a total of $10.2 million on TV ads--$85,000 a day, according to CNN. Ponder that a second. $85,000 a day--much of it his own money. He's donated $17.5 million of his own money to the campaign so far. To give a little perspective, Team Romney can drop $85,000 a day,......

Former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has introduced the "Mitt Market." When the news first got out, it seemed that Team Romney made another boo-boo along the lines of advertising on gay.com. "Mitt Market" is awfully close to "meat market." However, the Mitt Market is another way for Romney to raise money, as if he doesn't have enough. The Mitt Market is just like one of those stores that sells your crap on......

It's safe to say both the anti-gay presidential aspirant and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and readers of gay.com got quite a shock when they saw a Mitt Romney for President ad on the website. Was Romney letting his rainbow flag fly? Jim Rutenberg at the New York Times reports that it is no joke: "Over the course of at least two days in August, [readers of gay.com] may well also have seen banner advertisements......

Lots of Romney news going around today … Former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney had a bright idea--giving regular voters the chance to make his campaign commercials. The voters could paste together elements provided by Team Romney and their own ideas, and Team Romney has picked the top nine. The winning ad will air on television. Despite Romney's excellent grasp of cutting-edge technology, he put himself in a vulnerable position. Slate.com quickly assembled......

A man is as good as the company he keeps, right? If so, then former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney needs to make some new friends as soon as possible. Last week, someone linked to Team Romney was accused of putting up a website called "Phoney Fred." The website criticized fellow presidential candidate/TV actor Fred Thompson, who is already smoking Romney in the polls. The site offers the many moods of Thompson, including......

Someone burgled the local headquarters of former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney. The headquarters are in the North End on Commercial Street. Someone might want to check on the portrait Romney's hiding in the attic. Perhaps a clue was at the North End headquarters? Anyway, according to the Globe, the current assumption is that it's not Watergate Redux. A campaign spokesman said that the burglars were into the usual stuff - computers......

Just as former Massachusetts governor and current presidential aspirant Mitt Romney tries to disengage himself from another man's sex scandal, he makes himself sexier in an ad that features him in jogging shorts. The ad crosscuts between shots of Romney jogging and shots of his various achievements. Of course, his handlers help him achieve the perfect balance of cute but nonthreatening. His jogging duds hang loose on his body, and he looks like any other......

Former Massachusetts governor and current presidential aspirant Mitt Romney is probably off somewhere kicking himself right now. One of his biggest supporters, Senator Larry Craig, a Republican from Idaho, allegedly engaged in "lewd conduct in a men's room" at the Minneapolis airport. We'll let you use your own imagination - just see our past post about individuals who are "Lewd at Logan." On paper, Craig was an ideal match for Romney in the nonsexual sense.......

Jay Garrity, the Romney aide who allegedly impersonated police officers and who allegedly hassled a New York Times reporter, has resigned from the Romney campaign. The Herald reported that the overenthusiastic Garrity made fake badges and liked to use them. According to the Herald, Garrity and other members of Team Romney may have used the badge to avoid paying a toll. Meanwhile, the Romney campaign is putting as much distance between itself and Garrity as......

It's been such a big week for Mitt Romney that we can't wrap everything up in the regular Mitt Watch - especially the following incident. A New York Times reporter wrote that Mitt Romney's security got a little too heavy on him in New Hampshire. Mark Leibovich was driving behind the Romney Caravan. An aide stopped him, said he ran Liebovich's plates and told the reporter to - these are the reporter's words - "veer......
