Romney loses his hometown of Belmont by 30 points

[Mass]

The presidential race was neck and neck Tuesday night, but in Belmont the results were clear: Mitt Romney was no favorite son.

President Obama won 65 percent of the vote in the town Romney has called home since 1971. Romney received 34 percent in a race that brought out 79 percent of Belmont’s 17,822 voters.

As expected.

1. And what about his supposed birthplace?

Motown?

2. Buncha rich basstids live there....and EVEN THEY don't like the INTERLOPER!

They're probably still angry at that hideous prison, er, Mormon Temple, he built in that hoity-toity community--it makes the place look very 'low rent!'

What house is he living in? He and Queen Annie sold that house where the undocumented workers mowed the lawn.

3. Belmont is blue. Has always been. Suburbs of Harvard.

But it did not help that he ignored the town. For the ten years I lived in Belmont, we never saw him in town for any event.

He has a condo (that he probably never lived in). It will probably be for sale tomorrow.

6. I remember when he sold the "Big House"--the "landscaping scandal" one.

Didn't get what he wanted for it, IIRC (not too good with real estate deals, now, is he? He also overpaid for that car-elevator thing).

4. He "lives" in The Woodlands on Belmont Hill.

Or, at least, that's what he claims as his voting/mailing/occasional overnight address.

5. The Woodlands? Not sure what you are referring to.

Anyway, given where he voted, he does not live on Belmont Hill anymore.

7. I think Tracer is referencing this development...
