“….[Romney] has filed an application….to bulldoze the existing 3,009-square-foot structure in the seaside neighborhood north of downtown and replace it with a two-story, 11,062-square-foot house….A Romney campaign aide confirmed the story on Sunday…….“They want to enlarge their two-bedroom home because with five married sons and 16 grandchildren, it is inadequate for their needs,” the aide said.

Shades of “The fundamentals of the economy are strong”, circa 2008 campaign. Maybe this is Mitt’s “jobs creation plan”?

The question is, who’s more clueless: the candidate, or the campaign staffer who not only didn’t think that it might be a good idea to deny the story, but who also chose to elaborate on the reasons for for the reno.
