Romney tells millionaires what he really thinks of Obama voters

[Sedatedfork]

Yep. Do you think Obama courts his vote?

Nope! I wasn't really that alarmed by the 47% comment. It's standard political strategy. You target the undecided and the weakly affiliated electorate. I did find his comment about being Hispanic a little bit awkward. It was like he was talking to a group of good ole boys about some perceived reverse discrimination.

Of course any pol targets likely or possible supporters. But there's a big difference between simply saying "47% won't vote for me" and saying that 47% are victims who refuse to take responsibility for their lives.

I'd say this woman is pretty damn responsible. She'll never own a designer dress but she's worth 50 billionaires IMO.

The woman weaves a sad story. If her story is the story of 47% of the people, the country is in as bad a shape as Romney says it is.

It's all Bush's fault.

Don't you mean the buck stopped three and a half years ago?

I think the bucks are flying all over the place. As fast as the fed can print them and as fast as Obama can spend them.

Latest Gallup Poll

It's all about the 47%! Romney draws level with Barack Obama on 47% each. . . days after furor over Mitt's 47% comments

Thus far, there is no evidence that Romney's awkward comments about events in Benghazi and Cairo, widely panned by the press, have made any difference to voters - except perhaps a slight movement in the Republican direction as more questions have been asked about Obama's foreign policy.

Early indications are that the secret recordings of Romney at a May fundraiser saying that 47 per cent of Americans were dependent on government and therefore certain to vote for Obama may also have been met with a shrug by voters despite the media outcry.
Romney supporters are enraged at what they see as the press trying to call the election for Obama. A speaker introducing Romney in Sarasota, Florida said: 'The things they think are important are that Mitt Romney misspoke at a fundraiser.

'We have a dead ambassador, murdered in the a foreign country., Shouldn't that be the lead story for crying out loud? We have american flags being burned across the Middle East.

'Don't be manupulated by these people because we need our country back. This is the most outrageously manipulated election I have seen in 40 years.'

(Romney and Obama tied in Rasmussen, too)

Two percentage points separate President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney in a state poll conducted for the Tribune-Review, even though the campaigns largely are ignoring Pennsylvania and concentrating on other battlegrounds.

Obama polled 47 percent to Romney's 45 percent among likely Pennsylvania voters, with 6 percent of voters undecided and 44 days until Election Day, according to the survey by Susquehanna Polling & Research. The survey of 800 voters, conducted Sept. 18-20, has a margin of error of 3.46 percentage points.

The poll showed most voters are disappointed with the country’s direction, evenly split on whether Obama deserves another term and hesitant to back Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. Fifty-one percent of the state’s voters approve of Obama’s job performance.

Other recent polls showed a larger margin for Obama, leading some to speculate that Pennsylvania — which hasn’t voted for a GOP presidential candidate since 1988 — no longer is a swing state. Two of those last four polls gave Obama a lead larger than his margin of victory in 2008, when he defeated Sen. John McCain of Arizona by 10 percentage points.

“All the evidence points to a much closer margin,” said Jim Lee, Susquehanna president. “Nothing suggests we’re looking at anything like 2008.”

Not exactly. The quote is from the guy who did this poll, talking about the results of that poll.

The other less recent polls showed a larger margin for Obama.

ATLANTA (AP) — Never have American voters re-elected a president whose work they disapprove of as much as Barack Obama's. But Mitt Romney can't take much comfort in that historical fact. They've also never elected a challenger viewed so negatively.

Unless things change dramatically, this Election Day will mark a first, no matter who wins. The victor will be a sitting president with a slow economy, 8 percent-plus unemployment and an average Gallup job-approval rating below 50 percent. Or he'll be a challenger who isn't liked personally by a majority of the public and faces notable discord within his own party.

Ol' #47. Way to go, Mitt.
