You mean he looks good at videos but is fucking useless in real life?
sidetrolling!
Yup that just about sums it up, when a GOP pundit loves something its usually the opposite of what people grounded in reality feel

That's the final thought in his enemy's mind as the Dim Mak takes full effect.
I'm surprised the Romney campaign didn't go this route
"Today marked another day of President Obama's desperation in finding anything to talk about except the economy; even going as far as to have his supporters record tapes of private meetings held by Mitt Romney. Make no mistake, we will make this election about the economy and the issues while President Obama continues to distract from it"
How can you be in private with a room full of people?
Conservatives are delusional racist bigots, everything they say either confirms it or tries to pretend it isn't true.
This is one of the first times.
No way. Talking to a group of supporters without cameras around is one thing. Implying that you might act differently without cameras around is suicide. The campaign can't touch that angle unless they can win the fight over whether or not the comments are damaging in themselves. Right now they don't want to remind people that this was supposed to be private.

You know what I mean.
By the way, has anyone seen Kosmo? :lol
I know. That was a joke lol.

My guess is a waiter recorded it.
In fairness to Mittens, he was blindsided by the fact that an Obama voter had a job.
Kosmo the deep cover liberal who took the video?

You're so goddamn dumb, Mitt.
Haha!!
I would imagine a lot of thought can go through his enemy's mind.
After all, it takes a week to kill you.
deep cuts bitches!

If this doesn't signal to the Romney campaign that they fucked-up, nothing will
Obviously the candidate. Romney is running the perfect campaign.
MMT has shown him the light!!!!!
I don't see it on the front pages of CNN.com or NBCnews.com, but I'm a cable cutter and don't have access to the actual channels so maybe it's playing differently on TV right now.

NBC and ABC both had it on the nightly news. I'm assuming CNN is talking about it as well. They probably just dont have the opinion pages up yet online.
EDIT: MSNBC is absolutely railing on him right now (liberal media)

I don't think it's going to change anything drastically, but it's a headache and probably not something he'd want to talk about. Let's just blame Obama for the economy guys
Pretty much. I think it's one of those things that will have impact only on the margins, but that's not what you want when you're trying to alter the fundamentals of the race in the other direction.

Conservatives will love this 47% thing, it fits right into their thinking.
Obviously the most important thing here is that he is saying he doesn't care about that 47%, or wants to focus on them, that they are victims, that they can not be motivated to work and take responsibility at all.

I don't think there's any question that Nate's prediction is going to be Democrats holding the Senate. We've been watching the polls, after all, and the movement that he's referring to over the last week has been towards blue water every time. The most dramatic thing I can imagine him saying is that he expects Dems to gain seats.

Half of that 47% are elderly people on Social Security...(Most of them White)
Students in College..
The list goes on..
Obama Campaign take this shit and RUN WITH IT. Plaster it over every single AD you can.. I want a fucking Landslide in November to cover this Idiot(Romney) with!
kos is already saying he thinks the Dems could gain seats. I mean, it's kos, but hey. 57 ceiling and all.
I often have a hard time reading dkos, but I really love watching a hyper-caffeinated kos rant about running up the score.
I don't think it will change anything too drastically, but I think it will certainly hurt him more then the "Guns and Religion" incident back in the 2008 election. There is a code of conduct that you at least look like you care what the other side has to say, but to straight up insult the opposing voter block is another thing entirely. This kind of stuff really does not play very well for more 'independent' voters which is at this point his only chance to pull this off. Its just another divot in an awful last couple weeks for his campaign.
that ought to get reid fired up
pretty incredible that he is the one drawing attention back to the most potent attack against him
This little incident is going to be a gift that keeps on giving, and giving..
Mitt Romney - a supposed "moderate" - making comments like this? It'll endear him to the base a bit, but normal folks are going to recoil. This reinforces such an ugly perception of their party, and in such blunt, dramatic fashion. This is a gift.

Apparently this has been heard being blared from Obama campaign headquarters:

Hey, whatever gets the job done.
Similar to the statement they released.
"I want every American to succeed and not have to rely on the government at all."

Goddamn, it's a new foot in his mouth literally every day, isn't it? Honestly, much more of this and it's going to go Dukakis style.
Tomorrow. I'm guessing today is all about Mitt's Libya stunt.
He still has more than a month and a half

I think he'll say either Democrats will hold even or gain a seat. Maybe.
Warren erased Brown's lead, Berkeley's only behind by about a point (both of these are easily won if Democrats come home), Tester and McCaskill's standings have improved hugely, WI looked like Likely R but Thompson's lead fizzled, and Indiana and Arizona continue to be tied up (dunno if Dems will prevail in the end, but the GOP having trouble distancing themselves in those races is trouble in itself).
A LOT of things would have to break our way to expand the senate majority, but it's doable.

That's the scary thing. He's had enough potentially campaign-ending blowups in the last week and a half to last an entire campaign, and there's absolutely going to be more, plus whatever the White House is sitting on for an October haymaker.
