For all those teary eyed stories at the Repuke convention of how he helped his neighbors, it didn't seem to help Mitt Romney much with the people who should really know. Mitt Romney lost his home town of Belmont Massachusetts by 31%, Obama 9,108 to Romney 4,728.
He lost his home state by 24%, the largest margin of any major party Presidential candidate in American history.
You can best be judged by those who know you best

Belmont is no more his "home" town anymore than MA is his "home" state.
He spends more time in NH and Utah--and now, his California beach house-- than he ever has in Belmont. Belmont is (both addresses in that town--since he ostensibly moved to the high-end condo/garden home development from the mansion) a way-station, a place to pick up the mail, not a "residence."

(8,652 posts)Mitt and Ann voted in Belmont, Ma. There are 8 precincts. Mitt lost every one of them. Hence, he lost his own precinct.
How f#%*ing embarrassing is that? If Mitt can't carry rich, white, suburban Republicans in his own neighborhood, you know he's a piece of shit.
