Now Romney is picking on kids who get close to the campaign office.
Tenacity runs a summer tennis and literacy program for North End kids at the park at the corner of Commercial and North Washington streets. Parents who dropped their kids off on the way to work would pull into the parking lot next to the tennis court to let them off.

Until recently, that is. The Romney presidential campaign, based at 585 Commercial St., next to the lot, is now blocking it off to everybody but campaign workers, forcing parents to stop in a turning lane for the Charlestown Bridge and get their kids out. This morning, a couple of glowering guys enforced the no-lot policy. They told one irate parent there'd been a "hit and run" in the lot. Hit and run? Why, yes, somebody scratched a car and then left without taking responsibility. A parent? Well, nobody'd seen the "hit and run."

2. Why doesn't Mister Wonderful have his 'enforcer' watch over the cars in the lot?
Why do they have to be shirty with the parents?

I' say this is another "Ghost of Seamus" moment for Mittsy--it'll bite him in the ass eventually.
