Grandma will take that monthly check every month until the zombie apocalypse, then blame the zombies when it doesnt arrive.
In short, the Dems (and every opponent of Perry) will make this ALL ABOUT GRRRRRANDMA.
Romney is going for the women and black vote in Florida.
But Marco Rubio rose steadily in the polls and buried Crist in the Senate race — using SS as his platform.
The Florida electorate is already aware of this.
With “sweet” talking Marco Rubio campaigning in Florida for nominee Perry, Obama won’t have a chance with this wedge issue.
Mitt’s only chance now is to stop Perry in Florida.
Even the recent straw poll at the Maryland state fair belonged to Gov. Perry.
Mitt is tanking.
One thing I don’t think the Romney folks or Dems are even thinking about is that TODAY’s granny is not your or my granny. She is more independent, she’s likely had a full career, she’s far more educated, she didn’t live thru the Great Depression, she follows politics from her own perspective instead of following gramps. She knows SS has to be fixed. Not fiddled around the edges but FIXED. SS is no longer the 3rd rail of politics.
