So Governor Mitt Romney (R, MA) is on vacation in New Hampshire and helps rescue six people and a dog from a sinking boat in Lake Winnipesaukee over the weekend. The democratic response? Democrats complained that Romney was vacationing while lawmakers debate vetoes he imposed cutting dozens of human service programs. "There are lots of people drowning in the commonwealth right now who would certainly welcome a rescue," said Rep. Jay R. Kaufman (D-Lexington). Rep. Paul Kujawski (D-Webster) said other governors would have been "condemned for leaving the state," while Romney "seems to have privileges other governors haven't." "Mitt Romney only chooses to run for office from Massachusetts - he doesn't vacation here," said Democratic Party spokeswoman Jane Lane. realpolitik.us
