The answer is why not? If you got the bucks, its probably a good time to buy real estate + its cold in boston in the winter, lots of folks, well rich folks have a pad in a warm climate...flordia sure is an shorter flight though. As for any political connection, no way romney would run for office in CA...if your going down that road, look to al gore...he just bought a condo in san fran and maybe he should run for gov in 2010. As for romney, i'd guess if mccain wins, romney will be either veep, sec of tres or commerce...the latter two would mean another house purchase in DC for the romney clan. If mccain loses in 08, than romney will run in 2012 for the top spot. Yet, being out of office for 4 years might be a problem for him.
La Jolla is a very nice area of southern CA. San Diego and Orange counties are also 2 of the more conservative counties in CA. If I were ever to move to that state, that is about the only area in southern CA I would want to live in, partly because it is also nice and cool there, being near the ocean, yet not nearly as much air pollution and congestion as the LA area. Since Mitt has a son there, and since it's a nice area for Ann to ride horses year-round, it makes sense to me. It's probably also a good time to buy, with the housing slump more prounounced in CA than in some other states.
La Jolla may be my favorite urban place on earth. It's just that amazing. And a sunset down on La Jolla Cove overlooking Seal Beach... maybe after throwing frisbee in the park...perfect. Good for Mitt. And if I could only be so lucky one day...
