BOSTON (Reuters) - Two men broke into Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's Boston campaign headquarters early on Thursday, the second break-in of the offices in five months, a spokesman for the local prosecutor said.

Boston police arrested Daniel Bradley, 28, and Michael Sauer, 30, as they tried to leave the office complex's parking lot. A security guard spotted them trying to steal computers on a surveillance tape and called police, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney.

"There was some computer equipment that was recovered. There is no indication this was politically motivated," Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said.

Someone looking for Super Tuesday strategy?

Where was Vince Foster?

This would really be funny if it came from the Huckabee campaign.

[VA_Gentleman]

Better yet if it was from the Obama or Clinton campaign.

What’s up with this stolen item list?

1. Computer, Dell
2. Telephone
3. 8,000 pairs blue flip-flops, unisex

[Blue Turtle]

Not politically motivated? LOL...just like this is “no evidence that this is “terrorist related”

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Clixon

There is no indication it was politically motivated, but the perps were in the process of frying up some squirrel in a popcorn popper when they were apprehended.

Nah. His strategy is no secret. Here it is.

“Make all the promises you have to.” Myth Romney

We need the name of the building so we can add “-gate” to it.

It just occurred to me that if a a new political scandal occurred at the Watergate Hotel we would have to call it “Watergate-gate” as the “gate” has become so commonly used in today’s language.

Again? I smell a Rat.

[Sparky1776]

Reminds me of the case when John Kerry’s brother broke into an oppenents HQs back in the 70s.

“Clixon”

For those that don’t know, that’s a temperature controlled electronic switch (e.g., like a thermostat).

Very clever.

[Vicki]

This seems to be par for the course in presidential elections now.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

It sure would be fun if we knew who these two rascals were before tonight’s debate.

[JRochelle]

Has Huckabee ever said he eats squirrel?

Thats not the first time I have seen a reference to Huckabee eating squirrel.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Just thank God they didn’t get the grecian formula. That would have been a disaster.

“Make all the promises you have to.” Myth Romney

‘And keep them.’ Gov. Romney (R-Mass)

So he’s a traditionalist? What’s your point?

[reagan_fanatic]

There is no indication this was politically motivated

Mmm-hmm.

[TheThirdRuffian]

“Again? I smell a Rat.”

Well, it is Romney HQ.
