(1) The tape recorder did turn off, as Corn said.
(2) The tape shows something helpful to Mitt, and so it was edited out.
(3) The tape shows something harmful to Mitt, and they are saving it for another day to create more damage.
I would like to think #1 is true, but knowing what slime David Corn is, I suspect it is #3.
He may well have qualified his 47% remark. Not sure why the campaign doesn’t tape its own events to protect against just this sort of thing.
I don’t think it was (3). Romney wanted the whole tape released.
“(3) The tape shows something harmful to Mitt, and they are saving it for another day to create more damage.”
I read that Romney made a statement at the same dinner in regards to ME foreign policy. Wonder if this is the missing minutes.
