Or did he make a daring dash across rooftops and through houses a la Jason Bourne until they could no longer find him?

Had a weird thought when I woke up today... Anyone seen any comments or jokes about this topic?

How much would it have cost for the Secret Service to provide 4 (or heaven forbid 8) years of protection for Romney's GIANT family. You know that just his children and grandchildren is 22 or 27 or more, right?

Of course Romney could afford to pay for his families security out of his large personal fortune, but one of the few things we know about him is that he wouldn't want to.

(I'm not sure of the number, especially because I think one of his sons is divorced and remarried. In that case, doesn't the former spouse count as an daughter-in-law, even if she's the ex sort?)
