When Romney left the governorship of Massachusetts, 11 of his aides bought the hard drives of their state-issued computers for themselves. Also before he left office, the governor’s staff had e-mails and other electronic communications wiped from state servers, state officials say.

Those actions erased much of the internal documentation of Romney’s tenure as governor, which ended in January 2007. Precisely what information was erased is unclear.

Massachusetts officials say they have no basis to believe that Romney’s staff violated state laws. They acknowledge, however, that the law has not been updated to deal with issues related to digital records.

Romney’s spokesmen emphasize that he followed the law and precedent. But Theresa Dolan, former director of administration for the governor’s office, told Reuters that Romney’s efforts to control or wipe out the records were unprecedented.

1. Millions of dollars are spent every week to make the GOP appear credible.

It's an expensive charade.

2. They were trying to hide his intentions to flip-flop on all of the issues in 2008.

But, McCain beat him like a rented mule for it.
Romney has as much chance of becoming the President in 2013 as you or I do.

The difference is, we'll save most of our money while watching him throw his down the toilet.
