Mitt Romney, Ann Romney, and an estimated thousand or so other Romneys have been photographed on another boat cruising New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee. Ten questions immediately spring to mind.

10. Why are the children the only ones wearing life preservers?

6. The redhead kid in the center of the boat doesn’t give a shit about being on this boat. We admire that quality in him.
5. That wasn’t a question, but this is: what do you think he’s thinking about/looking at, if not the lake?
4. Does the redheaded kid’s life preserver appear to be a different color from the standard Romney family BODYGLOVE-make life preservers?
3. Did Romney name his boat “NH 6040 BL”?

1. I think because Mitt has his magical underwear on and Ann, well, she's just

a woman and from what I gather about that "religion" is women don't mean all that much to those who believe.

I kid I kid.

2. Here's one more: What was Mitt's score on the boating safety test?

Had to be pretty low with those kids riding up front at high speed. Hit one submerged log and they're in the water about to be mangled by the prop.

4. What kind of boat is it? anyone know the make-model?

3. Some answers.

1) Adults arent usually required to wear life jackets, however there must be life jackets available for them. Varies by state law, I dont know what NH requires.

2) The NH number on the bow is the state registration number, NH = New Hampshire.

3) The boat appears to be a "bowrider" style. There is a wrap-around seat in the bow, not a deck. Perfectly OK to ride there when underway.

Comment) There does appear to be a greater number of people aboard than is prudent, or even possibly legal. I count 11 just on the photo, possibly several more sitting in the stern? Thats 15 , maybe more, aboard what appears to be about a 26' boat. Probably too many.

Comment 2) It appears the boat is operating too fast too close to shore? I assume the photo was shot through a telephoto lens, and the distance is foreshortened...

5. I'm counting possibly 20, mostly kids, on the boat.
