Homes of the GOP Candidates

Rick Perry

Location: Estates of Barton Creek, Austin, TX (not pictured here)
Rent: $10,000-plus a month
Bedrooms: N/A
Bathrooms: N/A
Square Footage: 6,386



Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s choice of living quarters while the Governor’s Mansion (pictured) undergoes repairs has proven controversial. An Associated Press article reported in May 2010 that at that time, because of Perry’s house rental at the Estates of Barton Creek in Austin, “taxpayers have spent at least $592,000 for rent, utilities, repairs, furnishings and supplies.” The house Perry rents was on the market in 2007 for $1.85 million, according to the article.

Barton Estates is not Perry’s only real-estate-related source of bad publicity. Rick Perry and his father have leased a hunting ranch with an offensive name, located in Throckmorton, Texas, for decades. Witnesses differ with Perry as to when a rock bearing this name was obscured.

Mitt Romney

Location: Park City, UT
Cost: $5.25 million
Bedrooms: 7
Bathrooms: 9.5
Square Footage: 9,500



Mitt Romney wins the award for the Republican presidential candidate with the most real estate. In 2009, he had four mansions. His post-and-beam-log lodge (pictured here) was listed that year for $5.35 million (then removed), but real-estate website Zillow.com estimates the value around $2.6 million.

That year, he also sold his Boston-area 1930 house for $3.5 million. Rounding out the collection are a $12 million beachfront compound in La Jolla, Calif., and a lake house in Wolfeboro, N.H.


Rick Santorum

Location: Leesburg, VA
Cost: $850,000 in 2007
Bedrooms: N/A
Bathrooms: 3.5
Square Footage: 5,040



In addition to his more modest house in Penn Hills, Pa., Rick Santorum also lived in this two-story residence on 3.76 acres in Leesburg, Va., until 2007. It was purchased new in 2001 for $643,361. The question of Santorum’s residency location was the catalyst for a frothy controversy spanning more than a decade, as detailed here.

1. Santorum needs a landscaper

Aren't there any illegals in Virginia?

2. IIRC, John Kasich said that he would forgo living at the Ohio Governor's "mansion" ...

and the first thing that occurred to me was ... "I wonder how much MORE that will cost the security ..."

I'm sure that he's convinced that the lefties are wanting to commit violence upon himself and his family ... much more than the slobbering righties that worship the almighty $$$$ ...

3. The 1% are different from you and me.

Do you think these folks give a shit about the 99%? Do you think they will govern like they do?

I'm going to send this to my teabag stepson (currently unemployed) and ask him that question.
