Romney Watch '08'-Dems go looking for dirt

For those of you who don't think Mass. Governor Mitt Romney is a serious presidential candidate, think again. Two Boston papers just reported,here and here, the DNC has already started trying to dig up dirt. "Earlier this month, virtually every agency in state government received public records requests for ''any and all records of communication" involving Willard [Mitt] Romney dating to 1947, the year of his birth. The letters, each dated Dec. 7, are signed by Shauna Daly, who only provided a post office box in Washington, D.C., as her address."

Republicans say that the document requests will cost several tens of thousands of dollars and are planning to bill the DNC for the government provided services. Not surpisingly, the DNC has requested that the fee be waived, because of the "public interest" involved.
