Details On Romney's Announcement

Published Dec 22 2006, 09:00 PM by David S. Bernstein

A "top advisor" to Mitt Romney outlines the Guv's Presidential-announcement plans for the AP's Glen Johnson today. (What, you thought he'd tell the Globe?)

Here's the to-do list:

Jan 2: File paperwork creating Presidential committee -- because yes, it really would kill him to wait two more days until his term ends.

Jan. 4: Leave office. (Reminder: first must arrive at office.)

Week of Jan. 8 (other reports have specified Jan. 9): Hold ceremony to officially announce candidacy.

Not much new here, actually. And the advisor says that this is dependent, of course, on the final decision supposedly to be made by the family during Mitt's upcoming 10-day vacation (vacation from what, exactly?), and subject to change if John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, or other bad news cramps the prefered announcement date.
