At one point at the Rotary meeting at the Nashua Country Club, Romney began to tell the members a final story "because we're ending the campaign of
New Hampshire in New Hampshire." Then, he quickly clarified, "I'm not ending my campaign in New Hampshire. Let me be clear about that."
Some members of the local Rotary could also be heard grumbling after one member told Romney she had a question that had not been asked in the campaign so far. She asked Romney for creative solutions to deal with an "extreme overpopulation of pets" and the answer should not involve taking the nation's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants and "giving each of them a cat and dog on their way back home."
"I don't know how many excess ... pets there are in this country, to be honest about it. I was pretty well briefed for the debates," Romney said to laughter. "The cat and dog population and guinea pigs and the one that's most concerned, of course, gerbils…I intend to become better informed."
