Romney Fundraiser - Secret Taping

Been thinking (beware).
The Romney campaign should double down on what he said. They should own it. The trouble for the left and media (but I repeat myself) is that most Americans agree with Mitt Romney. Most Americans consider themselves part of the 53% and it is not a winning proposition for Barack Obama to convince Americans they are less than they think they are when most Americans already recognize he has made them less than they were.

Team Romney should force this debate onto the national stage. They should not walk it back. The American people are with him. It is the perfect time to remind people that Barack Obama, who authored Obamacare, wants to now be the arbiter of people’s fair share. To Obama, fair share means you fork over your money so others can have a life of government dependency. Romney’s point about government dependency ties perfectly to the dreadful economic news of late and is a perfect pivot back to that.

I agree. Romney should really push the phrase "Obama's 47%" and make it a negative for Obama. 47% after all is a losing number.
 
From what I heard (and I was doing like 3 other things at the same time), it wasn't a strong double down. He tried to explain his statistic by saying he was including an elderly population that wasn't paying income tax (I'm sure there were other categories he threw in there to make 47% look reachable). I'm not sure how well that will play in Florida.

Can anybody confirm the content of this double down?

You know I am starting to think Obama has to be one of the worst candidates for president if he isn't absolutely slaughtering Mittens by now.

I'm thinking it's the other way around. A halfway decent candidate should be slaughtering Obama by now with the way the economy is.

You would think by now, that this would show people that both candidates are virtually the same.
Maybe this will actually wake up the Obama/Romney sheeple.

Ron Paul would be giving Obama a run for his money right now.

And these numbers were polled almost a year ago, when Obama had higher approval.

I can't believe that this is not so obvious to everybody.
Apparently about 46-47% of the people in the country don't pay income tax.
That is about the same % of the vote he would get if the election were held today.
He made the assertion that these groups are both made up of the same people,
which is a total absurdity, a lie, and Mitt knows it, but his base is so freaking nuts that they believe this,
or they are as deceitful as he is.
 
I hope that they do double down, and the election discussion focuses on economic issues instead of all the usual social issue diversions.

This we agree on. Focus the campaign on the issues most critical to the country and let the voting apply to the core rather than peripheral bs.
