Mitt Romney Headlining New Hampshire GOP Fundraiser In August

Source: AP

BOSTON -- Mitt Romney is scheduled to attend an August fundraiser for the New Hampshire GOP. It's the first time the 2012 Republican presidential nominee will headline a political fundraiser since his November loss.

The Aug. 6 event will be held in New Hampshire's Lakes Region near Romney's summer home in Wolfeboro.

Romney has spent recent months largely in seclusion. But he has repeatedly hinted at a desire to play a more active role ahead of the 2014 midterm elections.

His brand suffered after losing what was widely considered a winnable election, but Romney maintains a national fundraising network that could help generate millions of dollars for candidates, super PACs and party committees.

it is near his house, well, ONE of his houses anyway.
The above is just a photo from the internet. When I saw him he wasn't wearing sunglasses, perhaps hoping SOMEone might recognize him. Still, he was all by himself, as far as I could tell.

I can't tell what he put in the empty peanut shipping box...might look like thumb drives. (COSTCO often bundles small items like that into 3 or 4 in large sealed vac-packs.)

He had fruit in the cart the day I was next to him.

That "fundraising network" is Mormons who work in finance, sure they'll donate, just swear to keep the SEC away.

Romney is possessed with Romney, and the longer the obsession Romney has with Romney, the harder it will be for Romney to be cured of his obsession with Romney.

He should have went rogue like Palin did and get a program on Faux.
But, his show would have been like watching cardboard age.
