Romney should have figured out how to reach some of the 47%, but instead he wrote them off. If he showed them a path to get the economy going and get them off of the public dole, he’d have a chance to reach some of those people. But instead he writes them off.

Salient point. Romney is following by throwing thoroughly chewed red meat to conservatives instead of leading by making a case to those 47% on why their choices hold them back and weaken the nation, then proposing specific ways to break their bonds of economic slavery brought on by buying into the leftist meme of class envy and entitlement.

That’s the only downside I see...in the statements he made on tape. Verbally casting aside the 47% as unreachable is a mistake, even if it’s true. The MSM will hammer him, but they would have hammered him no matter what with whatever they could get.

I’ll be on the Government dole once my reserve retirement kicks in, but I don’t think he was talking about me.

If Romney can pivot on this and make the case that anybody who wants work should be a Romney voter, then this could help him. Hell, I haven’t been at all energized by anything he’s done outside of this “leak”.

Perhaps there’s worse to come, but I don’t think this is fatal.

Charles Pierce is an old Boston gas bag who used write for that old leftist rag The Boston Phoenix.

That old rag just ceased print publication. It's free circulation was actually up 22% in 2011 (most other "alternative weeklies" were down), but ad revenue was tanking. Couldn't happen to a finer bunch of leftards!

It should be illegal to post the name “david corn” on FR. They do not get any worse.

Nah, I'd say coke and 'ludes. Probably a homo.

Ever notice you never see Ted Rall and David Corn at the same time?

Half the electorate already thinks he's a fake, which means he's not a very good one.

A bigger problen is that half the electorate doesn't care that the POTUS is a big liar...and not a very good one.

We're done as a country, if it is worse to be a successful capitalist than a Marxist incompetent!

No matter what he says or does, Romney could hardly be any worse than Obama. It is time for a regime change. Just maybe, things will improve a bit.

Probably the funniest part of this deranged screed is that anything but a miniscule percentage of the taker class is going to either see the video or read anything about it. To be a Democrat or a liberal is to avoid most information or news stories.

No, come to think about it. Rall must do a great Corn-toon.
David Corn just lends himself to so many comical/sexual possibilities.

why do pure takers get a vote anyway?

Because it isn't "Fair" to "disenfranchise" the poor, oppressed, downtrodden masses yearning to breathe free take your stuff at gunpoint.
