TUESDAY UPDATE: TWEAKING MITT. With Mitt Romney set to formally announce his presidential candidacy on Thursday in Stratham, the state Democratic Party is ramping up its attacks on the former Massachusetts governor.

Later today, the party will announce the availability of “Two Sides of Mitt Romney” t-shirts on its web site. The front of the shirt says: “Mitt Romney: pro-health care reform; pro-individual mandate; pro-Recovery Act; pro-immigration reform; pro-cap and trade; pro-gay rights.”

On the back of the shirt, the same issues are listed but with an “anti-” prefix before each one. The party lists several news reports from this and past years to back up its claims on each alleged “flip-flop.”

“What is more fashionable than GOP presidential primary flip-flopping?” asked NHDP spokesman Holly Shulman. “While flip-flopping is now very fashionable within the GOP presidential primary, it can also be part of your every day fashion!”

Shulman said the “limited edition” shirts will be available starting tomorrow.

Romney, by the way, will become the second major candidate to announce his candidacy in New Hampshire. Our initial report last week mistakenly stated his announcement would be the first by a major candidate in New Hampshire, but Ron Paul formally announced in Exeter on May 13.

So Romney was raised in Michigan, moved to Mass. where he became governor, so he's announcing his campaign in New Hampshire?

Well at least nobody can accuse Romney of being sentimental. Talk about a cold, calculating political move. Oh wait, we're talking about Mitt Romny--everything he does is a political move.

Any way he will lose the Utah primary? Just asking.

If Mormon Huntsman is in it he could, otherwise 95% for Romney.

Identity politics at its best.
