What happens to the lake if Romney wins?

[tis]

If you are talking about Romneys' place I don't think it is on the market.

The boat parked in back of the big MP boat look liked one of those inflatables. It was hard to see that one though. I could see the big two motors but not much else other than it did look red and it did look like an inflatable. Was the one you saw red? It was tiny compared to the big one in front of it. I am thinking that one might be a CG boat???

Oh ya.Mitts my man now.If this candidate rides PWC's...with the wife driving...well wow...no macho man complex.I wish I was in the shape he is.

Great pics. Thanks for posting. Glad to finally see the CG boat.

[Jonas Pilot]

Good thing she didn't listen to him. Mitt kept on saying, "To the right, to the right!"

[CTYankee]

What do you suppose those secret service guys are really looking for with those binoculars?

The boat in the above picture is a NH Marine Patrol boat. The attached is a picture of one of the two US Coast Gaurd boats they brought up last week.

Thank you lake. The orange one and the big silver MP were the ones in front of his house when we went by.

See those upright posts on the bow and stern..?? Thats where..in a Heartbeat..15 seconds..they will mount a 50 Cal Machine Gun.... NB

[WinniTroll]

Mitt hung in Maine. Between his hub-bub and the flagrant display of Marine Patrol and the S.S. I need some antacids. The parade was a real 'Mitt' Show this morning....

Your right on..

[tis]

The parade was long (an hour and a half) but I was very disappointed in the floats. People used to decorate them and they looked so pretty. Now they just stick a sign on and that is it. I think they should at least put some streamers on or something. Libby Museum had some trees and animals and one other float had a tree but other than that, there weren't any decorations. Mitt was last before the fire trucks, but I think it might have been better to have him first and end the anticipation. But maybe they thought people would leave.

...I marched in a parade in Amhearst NH yesterday, and the politicians were last. Emergency vehicles were first...they do that every year, so they are not delayed any longer than is necessary...a good idea. First time I have seen the politicians last...great idea. For the rest of the marchers, it literally shortened the time of the parade as compared to last year by about a half hour. No one walking along the route in the front of the parade trying to shake every hand... on both sides of the street...creating an hour and a half of stop and go marching.

[bigpatsfan]

i hope the secret service stayed 150 feet behind Mitt

just noticed that there has to be like fifteen people on that boat... Man that is a lot of little kids to keep track of.

Not sure, looking at the pic, but my wife wonders if their parents dress each brood in their own family's colors to avoid confusion?

E.g., blue, yellow etc.

A fertile family, no doubt ... but is ferility in this day and age politically correct?

[no-engine]

Seems that most if not all Coast Guard inflatables are red like the photo.
On a recent cruise, they DID have high power machinery mounted. All personnel aboard had very heavy duty life jacket gear, and helmets, as they moved around the ship as it exited the harbor. There may have been two.
All part of U.S. Coast Guard presence on our coasts & harbors.

So, instead of the armed Secret Service on foot, and w big black armored SUV, with presidential candidates, we will see armed Coast Guard boats on any body of water!

EDIT: I am now visiting in Annapolis MD. People are on same "creek" as Coast Guard Station is located farther in. We see them go by, in & out all the time. Man here says same red hulled boats made by Zodiac are all over the country. Nothing new for them to be patrolling coast with ships constantly moving; here there are cargo ships constantly moving in/out of Baltimore, for example.

So, to see them around presidential candidates will be nothing new. Same is true if we were to visit an airport where they fly in & out of, we will see additional aircraft on patrol. Even an added plane or two carries the secure automobile the President rides in, and secret service personnel with their vehicles. Nothing is left to chance.

Therefore, THIS is what will happen and what happens NOW on the LAKE!

[LIforrelaxin]

I think you will find that the Personal on the Coast Guard boats where not only from the Coast guard but also from the Secret Service.... Should Mitt win, I believe you will see Secret Service boats instead of the Coast Guard boats, just like they have in Kennebunk Port Maine, for the Bush family...

The Coast guard is not tasked with protecting the President, or Presidential candidate, The Secret Service is tasked solely with that responsibility.... and they bring there own equipment when practical... If Mitt loses they will not be responsible for his protection any more... Thus right now they are borrowing Coast Guard Equipment.

The Secret Service Vessels in Kennebunk Port Maine, look just like the Coast Guard Boats pictured here. (not surprising at all)... And are heavily armed...

There will also be increased Marine Patrol Presence when Mitt is around... As the Secret Service coordinate with the local law enforcement. I wouldn't be surprise to find out if Mitt Wins, the NH Marine Patrol, gets some Federal Grant Money....


Bottom Line, remember the Secret Service, is responsible for Presidential Candidates, and the President... Not the Coast Guard, not the Military, the Secret Service... So although the boats may have carried coast guard colors, they where maned with Secret Service agents.....

[Pineedles]

I took a bi-plane ride over the lake this afternoon and flew over the Romney compound. No machine guns being mounted or Blackhawk helicopters intercepting. It was a spectacular ride over the whole lake and I would recommend it for anyone. The pilot Phil, expertly piloted the 1935 Waco over Paugus Bay, Meredith, our summer home in Centre Harbor, then went over the Castle in the Clouds, and then back to the LRC for a perfect smooth landing.

If this was true then the Marines would not be responsible for transporting to and from the airport on either the Sea Kings or Whitehawks (marine one is the only one that actually has the pres. at that time), the Air Force would not be responsible for Air Force 1 as well as the cargo transport of all Marine helicopters and SS detail vehicles and personnel. Both branches have specific divisions that are responsible for their assigned task for presidential details and transportation.

Also the Presidential detail of the SS is only a division of the SS and is for a set period of time and is mandatory. It is not a very fun time, long hours, tons of travel and lots of stress. Not a great stint of time for someone with a family. The lions share of Secret Service work is check fraud and other white collar crimes investigation.

[no-engine]

Marine 1 and Air Force 1, and other aircraft 1 are designated for ONLY THE specific aircraft that is carrying The President of the United States, never the candidates.

[Woodsy]

Interesting lake trivia.....

A good friend of mine from Wolfebore was the Ops officer of HMX-1 for quite a few years... had alot of GREAT stories! Somewhere I still have the Squadron coin he gave me....

You can also expect to be seeing these boats as well... they just got the contract for replacing the old Coast Guard RIBs.. check out the 28 Defiant! A certain principle of that company may or may not have been stopped on Lake Winni for a 150' violation!

You are quite correct, I also exampled that in my response, but stopped at Marine 1. And aircraft "2" is for the Vice P.

The quote I responded to, included both the President and candidates in the exclusion of military use, but I don't think I made my response clear in the separation of the two (being the President and candidates) and how the military is used for the President as standard practice.

Not that I want to go toe to toe here, because I don't....

The secret service doesn't have the specialties required to fly air force one, marine 1 etc. that is why these tasks are left to the marines and the airforce. However after reading many articles, and watching many programs, the SS is still task with overseeing all the work on these aircraft, and is responsible for the security of the aircraft as well....The airforce and marines, provide the pilots and the maintenance crews to the Secret Service.

Bottom line, with the airforce and Marines take part of the security and transportation, while on those details the fall under the ultimate control of the Secret Service.

Having talked with the Secret Service, about employment, believe me it isn't just the white collar crime, and the protection of the president that they are involved in. There job is quite diverse.

Well, we don;t have to worry anymore. The elections are all rigged. Here is the proof.
We can all go back to watching the Loons zipping around on Wolfeboro Bay...Oh! And the birds too.......

They are in every coastal port; friends were on a cruise ship out of Baltimore and two of them escorted out the entire distance of Chesapeake Bay to open waters. Personnel wearing protective gear manned the bow & stern guns all the time. Serious! Protection of all Americans.

They also are searching underwater. The boats are very "serious". I am sure will never be loaned, as the crew are highly trained. They likely take aboard NH Marine Patrol, for the local knowledge of the waters, or Secret Service for their duty of protection of presidential candidates.

Heard that Ann Romney was interviewed on The View last week. She talked about dealing with 18 grandkids at their Wolfeboro house by assigning chores such as table setting, clearing, etc. Each grandchild gets gold stars on a chart for weekly chores done. She then mentioned that at the end of the week the reward for the kids is a trip to Black's for a stuffed toy or some other goodie. Wonder how many viewers actually knew what Black's is? She just mentioned it in passing.

I saw this show! As she started talking about their Lake House, i thought woo hoo i know where that is! Then she just casually mentions going to Blacks. So funny - i was thinking the same thing - the people in the studio audience probably had no idea what Blacks was. LOL

[fatlazyless]

Well.....in about two to three days the Town of Wolfeboro will no longer be wondering if Romney will be the next president......nobody knows who will win......it will probably be very close....will Wolfeboro become summer home to the Whitehouse.....or will it stay unchanged?

Voting in Meredith usually takes just 5-minutes or less.......u-go-in.....u-vote...and.....u-leave......pretty simple.....if you want to be part of the process then u-need-to vote!

[tis]

Let's hope we know in 2 or 3 days! Although it will be inconvenient, I think it will be very good for the town of Wolfeboro and the area.

I think that is very selflless of you Tis. I hope others will be so open minded, if he wins.

[Acrossamerica]

Big time win for Romney across the country and we here in Wolfeboro are thrilled. Once in a life time for the economics of the town and area plus all that great comunication equipment the Secret Service will install. Better broad band for everyone.

[barefootbay]

Being a longtime Wolfeboro resident (40+ years) however inconvenient a Romney win would be to the town ,thank God for America !

[tis]

Since he really is a nice guy as everyone who knows him will tell you, I think he will do as much as he possibly can to protect the town. We know we are dreaming if we think it won't change when he is here, but we will have to learn to live with it or stay out of town when he is here. I am with Acrossamerica, I will be thrilled if he wins.

Having been in the middle of a similar election winner settling in The South, the folks of Wolfeboro might not be able to grasp at just how much Wolfeboro will change!

The Airpark always could support a helicopter: a heliport was a feature for many years. With the next President needing an incredible amount of ancillary equipment, I'd expect the new owners of the Airpark property to lend their full support.

Of course the Marriotts will do all they can to help him. They are friends.

So...what happens now that he didn't win? I suppose the security will remain at least what it was this summer.

Not unless he pays for it himself. X Presidents get covered, not X candidates.
He's now plain old Willard of Wolfeboro.

[Resident 2B]

No security, no press, no crowds. Mitt will have a simple life as a private citizen.

No impact on the lake at all.

I'm Heading to the Romney Rally tonight at the Verizon in Manchester with a bunch of friends. I think it's awesome that he will be in Manchester the night before the election!!
He is an outstanding example of what a U.S. President should be.
I pray that he wins.

I agree. Do you know where he will be watching the returns?

I had heard he will be at his home in Belmont Mass.

I am excited about seeing him tonight, hopeful and optimistic he will be elected President tomorrow, and if elected, I will be even more hopeful about the future for our United States, the future for my family, and especially for my 3 son's

Pretty sure Romney sold his Belmont home, he's having an election night rally at the Boston Convention and Exhibition center.

[Heaven]

Why wouldn't they just clear a landing spot at his house in Wolfeboro?

Sold the house - but bought a condo, still in Belmont. You're right they will be at the convention center tomorrow night.

I read an interesting article on that subject today. Even if one doesn't agree, the article makes some interesting points.

(I, too, have three sons.)

Joe! Biden makes ANOTHER gaffe as he says 'there's never been a day in the last four years I've been proud to be his VP'

Finally I agree with him on something.

[Rusty]

Romney has made a few gaffes along the way, I like this one:

[barefootbay]

Obama made the same identical gaffe with Joe Biden in 2008. So gaffes are equal opportunity sound bites.

[Seaplane Pilot]

I would HAPPILY give up my boating privileges for the next 4 years in order to see Mitt elected. If you-know-who gets re-elected, I won't be able to afford the boat (and probably a lot of other things) anyway.

[Jeanzb1]

As for where Mr. Romney will be watching the returns -- we are down here in Florida, and I did hear on one of the political shows over this past weekend that he will be at their home in Wolfeboro! The Romneys no longer own a home in Belmont. Does anyone know if there are extra news crews setting up in Wolfeboro? That would surely be an indication of where he will be.
