No, not Bill Weld, silly. Mitt Romney, who, you may recall, sold his Belmont house awhile back.

That darn tax-and-spender! Lance explains how the court case that started it all was launched in 2003 by the Romney administration's Revenue Department - not by Deval Patrick:

... [T]he next time Mitt Romney runs for president, he should be asked over and over again from Keene to Laconia why he wanted to impose a Massachusetts sales tax on New Hampshire businesses.

Please, try not to snort too loudly.

Aw, our own Mittster is already running for president again.

The Outraged Liberal ponders Romney taking a different tack in 2012 to outflank hard righters like Palin and Huckabee:

... Could we be witnessing yet another metamorphosis, with Romney blooming as new (pretty) face and voice of the "pragmatic" wing that is expected to emerge? ...

Jay Fitzgerald doesn't doubt it for a second:

... Of course there'll be another metamorphosis -- and another and another. When Mitt finally develops a consistent message, we'll know he's not running anymore.

Oh, no, Romneyoids couldn't possibly be behind all those nasty Palin stories. Romney and his minions would NEVER stoop so low. Just ask Jane Swift.

But maybe it doesn't matter. Seth Gitell quotes a top Romney aide as saying he doubts Romney will run in 2012. And we know Romney's word about not running is his bond. Just ask Jane Swift.

Oh, and Steve Garfield fact-checks Romney mouthpiece Eric Fehrnstrom, who feels compelled to mouth off about the evil that bloggers do without understanding what a hyperlink is.

Does anyone really think Mitt Romney won't run in 2012?

Mitt's spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, says Mitt isn't thinking about 2012 and he is giving 110% to McCain/Palin.

One election-at-a-time.

In addition to attack dog, a purpose Romney is filling as we speak, the top contender must also be uncertain about how many houses he owns.

Republicans have governed the country with a willful disregard for the issues facing the middle class. There is nothing about the Republican ticket in 2008 that would make one believe they have any intention of changing.

Michael Prager reports:

... [T]his morning, for the second time in a couple of months, I ran into him in the market. The other time, I was with Georgie but he was alone, cruising the produce section of the Shaw's Market in Belmont. This time, I was alone but he was with his wife, Ann, when we met up at adjacent cash registers at Wilson Farms. ...

Hmm, I wonder if Mike Dukakis still shops at the Harvard Street Stop & Shop when he's in Brookline? A former co-worker once reported Dukakis started arguing with him about his choice of cereal - Dukakis tried to convince him the store brand was just as good and would save him money.

The Real Estalker takes us on a virtual tour of Mitt Romney's new pied-a-mer on the beach in La Jolla, Ca.:

... It goes without saying all those hideous chairs and the beige rugs will be hauled out to the dumpster and Your Mama suggests that the Romney's spend a few hundred thousand doing over the kitchens and bathrooms in a style befitting someone of their financial stature. We hope the couple will bring in a local landscaper who knows a thing or two about indigenous vegetation and do something about the paltry and pathetic landscaping on the ocean side of the house that gives the rear facade the vague visage of an upscale mobile home. Your Mama would also consider opening up the ceilings to gain some volume, particularly in the living and dining rooms. This is a single story house and there's really no need to feel smashed down by vast planes of just slightly too low ceilings. ...

He sets up another North End PAC to run for president in 2012 on the assumption McCain will lose, Boston Daily reports.
