The press is howling because they know Romney is right. There’s no other way to slice that pie.

I have heard Lib Journ-O-Listers like former 60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt speaking to Lib audiences and saying Mea Culpas for running too many "Welfare Queen Cadillac" stories and getting Reagan elected. Sure as heck they intend not to let that happen again.

Actually, the whole idea of some "gaffe" from a candidate determining an election is specious. And certainly Obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe is about the biggest gaffe I can remember from any prez candidate for years-decades.

But remember Obama's "bitter clingers" and other gaffes from 2008? That and other gaffes by him did diddly squat as far as determining the election. Now the press is screaming and hollering that Romney's "gaffes' are killing his chances. Most average Democrats are obtusely ignorant (the ignorati) and don't follow any news much less what Republican candidates say in speeches private or public. The bitter truth is: events and real situations i.e. foreign policy and economics determine elections. I doubt this supposed gaffe i.e. speaking the truth by Romney will influence the election one iota.
