CONCORD, N.H. - Mitt Romney took the symbolic, time-honored step yesterday of filing his official papers to put his name on the primary ballot in New Hampshire, a state that will play a huge role in his presidential ambitions.

Alerts Romney told reporters he was "thrilled to be sitting in the seat my father sat in some 40-odd years ago," referring to George Romney, who unsuccessfully contested the 1968 GOP presidential nomination.

"I intend to follow his footsteps to a point," Romney said. "And the point is that I plan on winning the campaign."

Romney, the governor of neighboring Massachusetts for four years, has seen his lead in the New Hampshire polls narrow over the last month, as Rudy Giuliani and John McCain surge and spend more time in the state.

...no wonder you love the Romulan considering your propensity of identifying those you feel are "full of it".
