In New Hampshire near Romney's lake home, the press pool was allowed to tag along today while Romney went shopping for two ears of corn and various other odd items at the local grocery store, then he went into a hardware store and bought a bucket full of what Romney called "Hardware Stuff."

After spending about 10 minutes inside the local Bradley’s Hardware Store, Romney emerged, bucket in hand, where reporters peppered him with questions about what he had purchased inside.
“Hardware stuff,” Romney responded, laughing, before climbing into his SUV. A closer look at the bucket revealed that it was some sort of insect deterrent.
The next stop was the local grocery store, where Romney sifted through a large container of corn before choosing two (the deal, after all, was two for a dollar) and heading inside.

Asked what he bought, Romney responded, “Groceries,” and laughed.
