Sen. John McCain took some heat during the presidential campaign when he could not remember how many houses he owns.
The fact that he owns seven and couldn't remember them undercut his claims that rival Barack Obama was the elitist in the race.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is just itching to run for president again in 2012, is making a move that appears to be an attempt to insulate him from similar troubles.
Romney is reportedly selling two of his four homes.
The Associated Press reports:
"A spokesman for the former Massachusetts governor says Romney and his wife, Ann, have put their 9,500-square-foot Deer Valley, Utah ski lodge on the market for $5.25 million, and are also selling the suburban Boston home where they raised their five sons. The 6,400-square-foot Colonial on 2.5 acres in Belmont is expected to fetch about $3 million."

Maybe he wants some extra cash on hand for his 2012 battle with Sarah Palin...

Bright thought....

Or maybe they're just another middle-class family trying to pare household costs like the rest of us (oh, yeah).
