Was very pleased by Romney’s response on Cavuto’s show. Very well done.
The only place he needs to respond a little differently is on the issue of that percentage of the 47% (elderly, military, etc.) that don’t pay taxes but will vote his way. I think it’s pretty clear he was conflating the tax rate with Obama’s baked in support. He should just admit that was the case and then frame it the way he did.
If he sticks with this he will finally have an argument that is precise and persuasive.

Yep, I agree, just a slight adjustment to his message would be helpful. I live in a very conservative area, but the median income is not all that high. Not everyone who pays no federal income taxes is automatically for Obama. Believe it or not, I know a lot of poor Republicans. Otherwise, he is spot on. I am beginning to think he might be a closet conservative.
Today Rush was making the argument that in spite of all the hoopla of the media hyperventilating and salivating on their hopes of “ GOTCHA “ on Romney’s comments about only 47 % pay taxes, that the liberals, Obama, the media will turn this election out of a class warfare argument anyway... it was bound to happen anyway.
