The cameras and national press will be treated to a - still tieless! - Mitt Romney spooning up chili and kicking back with the folks on Thursday in Stratham, New Hampshire, site of the presumed Republican frontrunner's official campaign announcement.
Romney's real action, though, is unfolding far from the Scammans' lovely farm. Looking to lock in his status as the field's most able fundraiser, Romney has a coast-to-coast schedule of fundraisers slated for the remainder of June. According to a schedule obtained by National Journal - which includes a preview of a July event in London, England - the former Massachusetts governor and venture capitalist has at least tentatively scheduled at least 33 finance events in 14 states and the District of Columbia between tomorrow's announcement and June 30, allowing four days of downtime to prep for the June 13 New Hampshire debate.
