I caught a few minutes if the insufferable Lawrence O'Donnell show last night. In the addled mind of O'Donnell this tape of Romney speaking to his base was the political equivalent of the 9/11 attacks.
Where were you when the first building was struck? Where were you when Romney spoke the truth?
Now this may indeed turn out bad for Romney. I don't know how it can be portrayed in a positive light given the fact that the MSM will all over this story like white-on-rice for the next couple of months but it may not catch fire with the voting public.
We can only hope that it will turn out like Fast and Furious. A snoozer-of-a-topic for the voters.
Bearing in mind the two sets of standards for the candidates I seem to recall a NYT's blog where is was argued Obama has given up on the white middlecass vote, although Obama himself never said it. The argument about the 47% not paying taxes and supporting Obama policy is not a new argument. But never voiced so openly and to the point. I think it will be a snoozer because people are still centered on the economy.
