Presidential candidate's headquarters burglarized
Romney's Boston headquarters was burglarized over the weekend.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - A television and eight laptop computers were stolen from Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign headquarters, according to a Boston Police official.
The break-in took place late Sunday night or early Monday morning, campaign spokesman Kevin Madden told CNN
“We won’t comment on anything past that because it is a police investigation,” Madden said. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor now seeking the GOP presidential nomination, main political headquarters is located at 585 Commercial Street. The intruders entered through a third floor window. The building does have 24 hour security and police are now interviewing people on the scene.
It is the second burglary in recent weeks of a presidential hopeful’s office. Sen. Chris Dodd’s, D-Connecticut, Senate office in Hartford was broken into and police have since charged a homeless man with that crime.

doesn't surprise me, especially if this is found to be done by the liberal left. They'll stoop to anything to make a gain.
this is sad – i hope they find those who did this...
Looks like Hillary's hired gun private investigator Anthony Pellicano has gone on an early plumbing expedition. I suggest to Giuliani's campaign staff that they go to Costco and buy some extra locks. That's why I want Obama to win, I'm sick of the Clintons dirty tricks.
can you say WATERGATE!!!
Now we have Mitt-a-gate!!
WATERGATE!
Rove leaves Bush, and is already at work on Romney's campaign, staging another break in that can be blamed on the Dems (probably Hillary). YOu heard it here first.
Poor Mitt- he'll have to dip into his personal fortune again to replace his resources.
HA HA Serves him right!
No problem! Mitt changes so often that the information on the computers is out of date by now.
If the thieves were searching for original ideas in Romney's office, they certainly walked away empty handed. Unless they stole his hair gel, this burglary shouldn't have too much of an impact on his campaign.
Another break-in. Wow, deja vu! You'd never guess there was a Clinton in the run for the White House!
Does this mean Richard Nixon is still alive?
Didn't Hillary work for Dick?
Nixon would be proud
The baseless accusations that this has something to do with the Clintons are pathetic.
So much for rational discourse: Mrs. Clinton is tried, convicted and hung without evidence. Must be the same GOP members supporting Senator Craig for his "do over" guilty plea.
Ya gotta love the "law and order" party – they break the laws, toss out the Constitution – and check my memory – what party was Nixon from???
The accusations that the Clintons have something to do with this are not only pathetic, but if anyone had something to do with it, it was a Republican since they have mastered the art of campaign headquarter break-ins.
Perhaps the FBI confiscated them. They might think Romney and Osama have the same hairdresser.
Hmm Kathleen Willey's book manuscript disappears, David Schipper (pres. Clinton impeachment trial documenter) has his manuscript stolen; Im beginning to see signs here of a vast left wing conspiracy. Of course, I wouldn't name names.
Innocent until proven guilty...but it smells like a Clinton again. Like Romney or not, he has the momentum right now and the Clintons are fully aware of that.
Well, at least it was an even number of stolen laptops.....four expressing one view on an issue, and four on another.
Come on, guys. Burglary happens everyday. Those of you who cheered because it happened to Romney, or blamed the liberal left (do you have any evidence?) should be ashamed of yourself.
THE ROMNEY CAMP DID IT THEMSELVES. SAME RIGHT WING CARL ROVE TACTICS. THEY DID IT FOR FREE MEDIA ATTENTION.THEY DID IT SO IDIOTS LIKE CARY FROM LOWELL, IN AND RUSH L.COULD TALK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THE REAL ISSUES
Pretty funny to hear the accusations against Hillary and Dems.
Anyone with a second grade education knows that Romney has zero chance of being R nominee. If Hillary were to do a "Nixon" it would only make remote sense to bust into Barack's offices.
