Romney's Baseball Ties...

While much will be made out of George Allen's football ties during his 2008 presidential run, he won't be the only candidate with a sports "in." MA Gov. Mitt Romney's going to be baseball's candidate. Romney's son, Tagg, is the new "chief marketing officer" for the L.A. Dodgers. The Dodgers are owned by Boston businessman Frank McCourt so clearly the McCourts and Romneys have known each for a while.

Tagg Romney managed his father's successful '02 MA GOV campaign. Personally, as Dodger fans, we can't wait for presidential bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.

BTW, the names "Mitt" and "Tagg" aren't exactly common red America names. Is the Republican Party ready for this much blue blood? Of course, it's not as if the Bush family doesn't have just a tad bit of blue in their blood as well but the current occupant of the WH does everything he can to hide that blue blood. [CHUCK TODD]

Not sure if "Tagg" is his first name, but is the country ready for Willard Mitt Romney?
