Too much space Downsizing: Mittster selling Utah home


WASHINGTON » Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney is selling his homes in Massachusetts and in Utah because he has "more space" than he needs, his spokesman said Monday.

Romney, who parlayed his experience from running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City into winning the Massachusetts governor's office and seeking the White House, has put his ski mansion in Utah on sale for $5.25 million.

The home, a 9,500-square-foot, wood-beamed ski villa in Deer Valley, has played host to then-President George W. Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Romney's home in Belmont, Mass., is also for sale, but his spokesman said the asking price has yet to be decided.

Romney is keeping his other homes, a lakeside resort home in Wolfeburo, N.H., and a beach house in La Jolla, Calif., which he purchased last year.

"The Romney children are all grown up with families of their own, and Mitt and [his wife] Ann have more space than they need," spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said Monday. "So they are simplifying and downsizing."

Yes, Romney is trying to get ready for the next Presidential run by showing he only owns a few homes instead of many.

When you see Mitt cutting back you know things are bad. Looks like he wont be able to afford Sarah as his toy now. Will Mitt's name show up in the UBS banak records?
