I believe he asked how you were going to get the votes of tattooed video gaming WalMart shoppers. Not that he was worried about getting their votes.

You are the one running for president, right?

Do you suppose your one million supporters dragging 50-100 people to the polls for you doesn’t involve making an appeal to the great unwashed?

One reasonably suspects that those tattooed, video-gaming, Walmart shoppers are a LOT more likely to be reflexively pro-life, straight, hawkish, anti-tax on modest folks, anti-global warming propaganda and taxes, and anti-Obamneycare than Romney's base at the polo club, the Junior Leagfue and Wall Street Board Rooms. Hence, they may be a LOT more available to Tom Hoefling than to Romney so long as they are aware of Tom.

Romney is much more likely to disdain them as "the great unwashed." They just don't understand the vital importance of derivatives and other smartass sophisticated Wall Street plunderer's financial schemes to gull the suckers and the mere peons who actually have to pay taxes at a higher rate than their majesties.

NMost of us can live without derivatives but occasionally have a real need for auto mechanics, electricians and plumbers who may well also be Walmart Shoppers rather than patrons of Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue.

I actually shop at Walmart. I seriously doubt Mr. Romney has ever needed to.

I’ve pushed a broom for a living. Mr. Romney has definitely never needed to.

When it comes to relating to the regular folks, I’ve actually walked in their shoes.
