Yeah, I'm sure he is seeing something we don't: a few hundred million dollars in his bank account... which renders price completely irrelevant. Romney's a five-sigma outlier home purchaser. Nice plane, too.

Hmm......I paraglide in La Jolla and one of the mega-mansions that has been going thru an extensive rehab right on the cliffs of La Jolla farms rd. was just completed.

They put in a volleyball court (with sand of course) and a FULL basketball court with NBA style plexiglass backboards. The place is just totally pimped out and every time I fly by it I'm always wondering who owns it.

It was recently completed and Yesterday the backyard was filled with what appeared to be college aged kids having a party. I mentioned to a couple of the other paragliding pilots that I'd heard Romney bought an oceanfront place in La Jolla.

Doesn't Romney have some college aged kids? Anyways, if it turns out that this multi million dollar party palace IS in fact his........it just reaffirms my decision to NOT participate in this corrupt political system we have.

BTW.........The mega mansion right next to this place is affectionately known as Mr. B's in the paragliding community. Mr B. (aka Ron Burkle) is the billionare linked to Bill Clinton and his overinflated income. About 3 times a year Mr. B. stays at his little vacation hotel....er, I mean house. Wonder if Mitt will be borrowing any Grey Poupon?

I've flown along the cliffs over these places literally hundreds of times now, and they are so opulent and over the top they STILL take my breath away!

Hey ... wait a minute ... Mitt and his boys are devout LDS and there will be no partying any time soon. He made his money from his business ventures, mainly as a venture capitalist. The system may be corrupt, but Mitt's done nothing to contribute to that ... and in fact would like to change it. Please don't be so quick to judge.

Touchy are we Grambo? Your full name wouldn't happen to be Grambo-Brigham Young-Romney would it?

His kids are my age. I went to school with most of them (college). The house you saw was not their house. Romney's kids are married with children. They don't live on a cliff and the house is not new.

He's not alone. Romney is one of the few politicians I actually respect, and I'm not a Republican (or Dem, for that matter).
